HELLO MR TOMAŽ
Just yesterday we were talking about dentists and it came up that an acquaintance of mine, or rather a former classmate, comes to you and spoke very highly of you. Yesterday my 13-year-old daughter had a tooth extracted by her dentist, specifically a primary second premolar, because the permanent tooth is growing underneath and because of orthodontic treatment. She is in a lot of pain, has swelling and is taking painkillers. What should we do, and how long does this pain last? On top of everything, the dentist also said that a small piece of the root remained, but that the permanent tooth would push it out and everything would be fine. I am a little worried about all of this. What do you advise? I would most like to bring her to you, if of course you can take her under the concession scheme.
Dentist Tomaž Rotar answers:
Dear Sir/Madam!
Pain for some time after the procedure (a day, two...) is common and is not considered a complication. It would certainly be wise to return to the dentist and explain the problem that has arisen. I advise against taking painkillers, since the affected patient is still only a child. In an extreme case, we can prescribe an antibiotic. At our practice we can see you in the emergency clinic. You can call us beforehand at: 04/5300660.
Have a nice day!
