Does anesthesia have any effect on children's tooth extraction?

We know that toothache is quite serious when a tooth is extracted. Many people know that toothache is very painful, so children also need anesthesia when having a tooth extracted. Generally, playing mahjong will not have adverse effects on children, nor will it affect their intelligence. Of course, during the anesthesia and tooth extraction process, you must go to a regular hospital and not to some unqualified clinics.

Can children be given anesthesia when having a tooth extracted?

1. Parents do not need to worry too much about the anesthetics used for tooth extraction, because local anesthesia will not have any effect on the child's body. On the contrary, anesthesia is actually a very necessary step when extracting a tooth, because the pain generated during the treatment of the tooth is very severe. If anesthesia is not given, some children may not be able to accept it.

2. Before treatment, be sure to tell the doctor about your child's overall physical condition to help the doctor choose an anesthesia method suitable for your child. Also, try to encourage your child and tell him or her not to be afraid before giving the anesthesia. Because anesthesia is also injected with a small needle, some children may resist it.

3. In addition, children must be warned not to bite their mouths and lips after anesthesia, as this may cause injury. In addition, you should pay special attention to your child's mouth in the few days after tooth extraction. Do not eat too hot food or too spicy food such as ginger and chili.

Warm reminder: Parents do not need to be too nervous about the anesthetic used for tooth extraction. Anesthesia is indeed required during tooth extraction, so parents do not need to be too nervous, and do not show too much worry in front of their children. They should appear calm so that the children will not be afraid.

What are the precautions for children to have their teeth extracted?

1. Eat right

Children are relatively young and like to eat cold food, but they are not allowed to eat anything within 24 hours after tooth extraction. If they eat something, it will easily irritate the wound, cause bleeding, and even cause swelling of the tooth.

2. Clean up properly

Some children develop good habits and brush their teeth every day, but they must be careful after tooth extraction. It is best not to brush their teeth or rinse their mouth within 24 hours. This will hurt the teeth and prolong the healing time, which will cause dry socket.

3. Apply cold compress to wound

There may be some pain after tooth extraction. If you don’t press the cotton ball at this time, there will still be swelling after the tooth extraction. At this time, we can use an ice bag or a towel to apply the injured tooth well, which can eliminate the swelling.

The growth of children requires the careful care of their parents. Tooth extraction is a necessary stage in the growth of children, so parents still need to remember the precautions after their children’s tooth extraction!
