[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]That seems rather extreme to me. Why can't she get them removed on a Friday and have the weekend to recover. Then she only misses 1 day. Or better yet get an app at 3 pm on a Friday and she can work until 2pm[/quote]

I had my wisdom teeth pulled when I was 19 and I was out for a week.  Plus the "blood breath" is about as bad as bad breath gets.

Wisdom teeth extraction, however, is rarely an emergency procedure.  The nanny should have waited at least three months until she is established in her position.  [/quote]
I've had all of mine pulled as well and I was fine in 2 days. [b]I never even felt any pain.[/b] I just couldn't talk for about a day.[/quote]

Different people feel pain differently. I agree the nanny should schedule it for a Friday afternoon to miss the least amount of work possible. But I will say that I've had one cavity in my entire life, and spent a WEEK feeling like I'd been punched in the jaw. When I told the dentist he said "Yeah, about 10% of people have that reaction," and we found out I was one of them. But I could take a spinal tap without a problem.

Again, the nanny should do this on a Friday to minimize the time taken off, but please do be aware different people have different pain thresholds, and different people bounce back from surgery differently.[/quote]
