I understand what you are feeling. I had to have a broken tooth surgically removed when I was pregnant so I couldn't get knocked out at the time. I was scared to death. Anyways, he had half the tooth removed without me even knowing it. Try not to worry because it may not be nearly as bad as what you are expecting. My poor 16 yr old DS has to have 4 impacted wisdoms taken out today. I am a nervous wreck!! He's never been under anestesia before and plus I've got the whole guilt factor of doing this to him before Christmas added into it.
There was no way around it though. He's getting headaches from them, just got his braces off so they could mess his teeth up, and this is the soonest he would have time off from school to recover. Anyone else had this done...or a child that has had this done recently....what do I have to expect as far as recovery and pain??
