Hello. My daughter will be getting hers surgically removed nextweek. I'm trying to get info on tips and advice. I got mine out in 3 different visits...one was so infected it was removed while I was awake, it was a good experience. My 2nd was surgically removed ok no complaints. the 3rd visit I got 2 out surgically and it was horrible. As soon as needle hit my arm I was out. woke up and they were walking me out and I wasn't even fully awake. Plus I ended up with dry socket.
My daughter will be getting all of hers out surgically in one visit. I asked about meds and was told norcos will be given. I know those are super strong and I believe narcotics(addictive). My daughter is 5ft 110 so I worry about norcos being strong. I'm 5'6 and 220 and when I took one for my root canal It made me feel so drunk , room was spinning and I was knocked out the whole day. It was awful!!!! one was enough and I didn't take the rest because I didn't like the way it made me feel.
I know the dentist will give me paper of what she can eat and what to do to make her comfortable but I like hearing from other Moms and Dads what worked for their kids and their experiences.
All I remember was no using straws.
How long can I expect her to be before she recovers/heals?
What foods can she have or recommend?
What over the counter meds helped or what RX that aren't so strong for 18 year old 110 pound female?
I want to make sure I buy foods/drink before the surgery. Thank in advance
