New molars in 12 year old

Just wondering how your dc reacted to their last molars coming in? I feel like my ds has gone back to being a baby: waking up crying in the night, in a lot of pain, unable to eat! Is this normal?

@buenavistabelle Came across your post in a search because I'm having the same problem with my DD now. Her older sister was fine when she got hers, but DD no.2 has been in agony off and on for over a month. Long wait to see the dentist (2020...sigh). Last night was so bad I wonder if the molar could be partially impacted. It's Sat so I can't ring dentist until Mon. Just wondering did your DS's teeth come in ok in the end?

Just to add to my last comment, in case anyone is reading this with a similar problem, turns out my DD had tooth decay Sad in one of her teeth and had to have it pulled. She was getting new molars on both the bottom and top. She thought the pain was coming from her new molar at the top, but turns out the pain was coming from her 6 year molar on the bottom. Since having it pulled, a week ago, she hasn't complained about pain once. I'm now being more vigilant about making sure she doesn't forget to brush her teeth!!
