Yes mybson had virtually all his teeth removed under ga

Ask for pre med

Stock up on painkillers

To be fair my son ate virtually normal immediately I fully intended to keep him off school for a few day's but he was fine on day two so I sent him back the school made sure he had soft food

The only issue I had was when his stitches began to fall out and he bled it was distressing and the emergency dentist snipped one as it was catching apparently dissolvable stitches don't always dissolve

Thank you, yes am going to get ibprofen at the ready! And ice pecky! Still unsure on what to feed him as he is under dietician already for low weight, very fussy eater as it is i know i wont get things like mash or soup past his lips:/ also panicking about keeping his tongue/fingers away from the extraction sites as he has very limited understanding (also under pediactric, speech therapist etc)
