You should expect some bleeding following tooth extraction. If pain begins to diminish but elevates after three to five days please contact our office. Use children's Motrin or Tylenol for any discomfort (please follow the instructions as directed on the label). Do not allow your child to touch the socket with their fingers and tongue. If your child smokes do not allow them to smoke (preferably a week). Do not allow your child to drink out of a straw (preferably a week). Do not allow your child to drink any beverage containing carbonation. Do not allow your child to drink very hot or cold beverages until the numbness goes down. Afterwards have them gently rinse with water. Do not rinse your child's mouth for several hours. Please follow the instructions below for the remainder of the day: No heavy spitting.
#COULD NUMB LIP BE A SIDE EFFECT OF TYLENOL FREE#
Please follow the instructions given to you after the treatment and feel free to contact us if you have any questions. Your child should be able to eat one to two hours after leaving the office or the hospital, depending on the procedure performed and the anesthesia used. Avoid fatty foods such as hamburgers because this may make the nausea worse. To avoid nausea start with a liquid diet and slowly progress to soft foods. The most common side effect of sedation is nausea. This does not last long and will go away in about thirty to sixty minutes.
Sometimes after the sedation a child can become very hyperactive and/or irritable. Also, make sure to administer small amounts of clear liquids often in order to avoid dehydration. Check on your child every fifteen minutes or so while sleeping to make sure that their chin is up from the chest and that breathing is not obstructed and do not leave them unattended (a responsible adult should remain in the same room with them until they have completely recovered). Most of the children will sleep for up to four hours after they go home. Sedation usually takes four to six hours to wear off and during that time your child may accidentally bite and/or chew their lips, cheeks, or tongue so they need to be watched constantly. The gum tissue may bleed slightly around the crown for a day or two when brushing. The gums may be tender after the anesthesia wears off and Tylenol or Motrin may be used for pain. If a crown has been placed on any of your child's teeth they should not be allowed to eat sticky, chewy, or hard candy of any kind as it may cause the crown to fall out. Your child should stay on a soft/bland diet for about a week. Tylenol or Motrin can dull the pain (please use as directed). Avoid salty, spicy, or hard foods and drinks like orange juice or soda since they can irritate the lip.
It will usually turn white and swell looking the worst at day 3.
If your child does bite their lip it will be very painful. The following are things to keep in mind after your child has been given local anesthesia: Your child should have no solids and should be on a liquid diet until the anesthesia wears out. The numbness from the anesthetic can usually last up to two hours. Children need a lot of care and supervision after being given local anesthetic because they may chew or suck the numb lip, tongue or cheek which can later cause pain and discomfort.
