Tips to help after having teeth taken out

[frecklemum]

My daughter is soon to have 5 teeth removed under general anesthestic in hospital and I'm after any tips/recommendations to help her afterwards please. Thanks

After I had my wisdom teeth out, I took ibuprofen and paracetamol. I took 2 brufen then two hours later 2 paracetamol and so on so that I was never without pain relief.

An ice pack helped reduce the swelling.

Arnica for a ew days beforehand helped with the swelling.

Avoided hot food, sugar, meat, fish etc to reduce the chance of infection.

The hospital will provide after care advice though, so following that and giving plenty of hugs would be my advice.

Thanks Hellesbelles

No problem - hope everything goes well.
