While the recovery itself isn\u2019t that different for a child than an adult, you might have to think a bit outside the box to help your child. This post lists a couple of ideas and will tell you what you need to know, but don\u2019t hesitate to ask your pediatric dentist for more tips!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<!--more-->\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Handling Numbness<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Since your child will be \u201cunder the influence\u201d of a numbing anesthetic or <a href=\"https:\/\/www.waterfordpediatricsandorthodontics.com\/sedation-dentistry.html\">dental sedation,<\/a> you\u2019ll have to be careful about what they eat for the first 24 hours after their tooth extraction. It\u2019s hard to chew properly when you can\u2019t fully feel your oral cavity, and they might accidentally hurt themselves trying to bite down on something hard or chewy. Soft foods like yogurt and scrambled eggs will be much easier to eat.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Additionally, if your child needed IV dental sedation, keep an eye on them throughout the day, as they might be groggy and a bit \u201cout of it\u201d until the effects wear off.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Managing Bleeding and Aches<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Rest assured, your pediatric dentist will apply gauze to your child\u2019s treatment area after the procedure. However, this gauze usually needs to be removed after about 45 minutes. There might be a little more bleeding after you pull it back; in that case, dab another piece of gauze in warm water and gently press it to the bleeding. Repeat as needed, but call your pediatric dentist if the bleeding continues after 30 minutes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>For general aches, it\u2019s okay to give your child pediatric pain relievers (double check with your pediatric dentist if dental sedation was administered). Just be sure to read the dosage instructions on the bottle! &nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Protecting the Blood Clot<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>A blood clot will form over your child\u2019s now empty tooth socket \u2013 but don\u2019t worry. This is a good thing! The clot will protect the area from infection and painful sensations. If it becomes dislodged, however, then that can be a problem.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>To help prevent this from happening, direct your child away from strenuous activity, instead offering more relaxed things like arts and crafts or watching a movie together. Don\u2019t let them drink liquids through a straw, as the suction could disturb the blood clot. And, finally, you may want to help them brush their teeth. It\u2019s important to be careful while brushing and to let water or mouthwash fall out of the mouth instead of spitting.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">In Conclusion<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>In a nutshell, tooth extraction aftercare for your child will come down to helping them relax, feel comfortable, and be careful with their blood clot. Your pediatric dentist will review recovery instructions before you leave the office, too, and you\u2019re always welcome to call if you need a reminder or clarification. They\u2019ll help make sure you\u2019re well-informed so you can take the best care of your child after their tooth extraction!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">About the Practice<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Drs. <a href=\"https:\/\/www.waterfordpediatricsandorthodontics.com\/meet-dr-adriana.html\">Adriana Rosato<\/a>, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.waterfordpediatricsandorthodontics.com\/meet-dr-chung.html\">Esther Chung<\/a>, and <a href=\"https:\/\/www.waterfordpediatricsandorthodontics.com\/meet-dr-gill.html\">Sona Gill<\/a> are highly experienced pediatric dentists who are active in the community and their professional affiliations.
