Children teeth, What kind of aftercare is needed for a baby tooth extraction
My son who is five year old just had three baby teeth removed do to bad dental carries. He was very good while the dentist removed his teeth. However when the dentist was done with the extractions my son really just wanted to go home.
Now I know I should have taken more time to ask the dentist about his aftercare but I was only thinking of my son at the time. My son needs to go back to the dentist in a week to be fitted for space maintainers.
I guessing his gums will be heal by then. But since I forgot to ask about the aftercare I am not really sure. So besides trying to keep his mouth clean is there anything else I should be doing for him?

Just call your son dentist back up. Ask them about the after care for his extractions. Although for the most part the aftercare may be similar you want to do as your dentist suggest. Why guess when they are just a phone call away.

When my daughter had a few teeth pulled, I was told just to keep her mouth clean. I had her rinse her mouth out after every meal or snack with just warm salt water.
Her gums were held in less then a week. But all kids are different and you may feel better calling your son’s dentist just to confirm what they may want you to do.
