UGH! Daughter getting 7 teeth pulled... tomorrow! Her appointment is at 9:00 and I'm dreading it. She is absolutely terrified of needles. I asked that they give her a pill to knock her out but they don't have one to give her. Hopefully some good gas. Last time...she was 7 she had 5 teeth pulled and it took 3 adults to hold her down and they didn't do a good job at it...mind you, she's a small framed girl. Say a few prayers for me and her! |

Wow, I am so sorry and I will definelty keep her in my prayers. Are her teeth just not falling out on thier own? I have never heard of anyone having that many teeth pulled. |
she's 10 now and hasn't lost a tooth in over 2 years. In fact right now, she has one perm in and the baby never came out! |
Poor girl! Yes, hopefully some gas or something to make sure she gets through it all okay!!! Wow, that's a lot of teeth to pull at once! |
I will also be having to go through some major dental things with my son very soon. I feel for you and her. Sending Good thoughts to you both. |
I will say a pray for you and her, I also hope that everything goes ok I had 4 pulled at the same time and I was out of it all day with the drugs they gave me. So I hope they give her some good pain meds. Good luck I will be thinking of you and her tomorrow. ;) |
Thanks, guys! You people are the greatest! :p |
Oh, my gosh! I feel sorry for the little thing! I don't doubt she's scared. I would be, too, and I'm not 10! :eek: |
Is it a pediatric specialist? She is older now and if she had a chance to discuss the treament and what she is to expect hse should do great. Thry usually don't let them even know the needle is there and she shouldn't feel it. My husband is a dentist and I manage his offices. They do not really recommend nitrous for chidren but there are ways to distract and it should be pretty much painfree. Good luck and PM me if you have questions. |
I dont get needles when i get fillings,i just say go ahead,i am not scared of needles i have had them all my life :eek: I am allergic to the Novacaine. :rolleyes: Your daughter has prob had it all over by the time i got to reading this,i hope everything went well :getwellso You can get laughing gas :) |
Kim, I hope your daugther did great when they pull her teeth. Wow, 7 at once. I hope she is not on a lot of pain. I guess she will be having liquids for a while. |
We went through something similar with our oldest daughter, Skylar (now 11 yrs old). When her baby teeth first starting falling out and permanent ones coming in, her pediatric dentist (also an orthodontist) realized that the big ones weren't having enough room to come in correctly. So he formulated a plan to get them in as nicely as he could. What he did was pull the babies next to the open hole right before the adults came down - giving the adult one two small holes to fill up. Well, after doing that all down the row, as the years went by, they all were coming in real well. Then when she was about 8 or 9, he went in and pulled NINE out at once. Ugh, that was scary! I had to completely trust him on that one! He pulled 4 baby teeth and 5 permanent ones to make room for everything and to get her ready for braces. Once the rest of the perm. teeth came down after that, her teeth looked really nice. Now she has just gotten her braces to finish straightening them all out. If he had not pulled all of those like he did over the years, her mouth would have been such a jumble of misplaced out of whack teeth. He really did a great job. Poor girl though... the only baby teeth that came out naturally were the first 4 - top 2 and bottom 2. So needless to say, she's used to the teeth pulling thing. I know it helps tremendously that she loves her dentist and the assistants too. I do know that they gave her some "happy juice" to make her a little sleepy for the procedure. I missed this post originally so I hope all went well with your daughter. I just had to post our experience because I know when I told people how many teeth Skylar had pulled, they all thought the dentist was nuts! But I think his plan has turned out spectacularly! |
i hope all went well. i'm 12 have never had any teeth pulled, and i hope i never do, i don't do needles!! i feel so bad for your daughter. i know i missed this one by a few days, hope she's doing better now! |
