[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]DS a couple of years ago over spring break.  He was referred to 2 oral surgeons, neither of which took insurance.

DS took Motrin for 2 days and was totally fine (we were not comfortable using the script for opioids; when asked about chance of gateway to dependency, pharmacists said kids can get dependent, even using a small amount of the meds appropriately).

Needed lots of gauze for his mouth day 1.

What I recall most was that he was very nauseous right afterwards in the recovery area when they brought me back.    He could not talk, but signaled for my phone and let me know he felt like he was going to vomit (he did not, thankfully).

Although his dentist had given us a script for anti-nausea meds, I had the pills at home.  If you get a script, perhaps bring 1 tablet to the surgery appt. just in case you need it.

He also had a script for mouth rinse.  Tasted terrible, probably used it less than he should have.[/quote]

I think for my daughter the mouthwash was the worst part.  Or at least it is the thing she complained the most about. 😂[/quote]
