Wisdom Teeth

Tips for those getting their wisdom teeth out:

1)Nothing hot at first. Cold is better.
2)Make many trips for ice cream; it feels great, and you can keep it not boring by switching up flavors.
3)chef boyardee and mac&cheese make excellent "transition foods" as you get back into solids
4) pick up a syringe from the drug store to help wash out the cavities so you don't get food stuck back there.
 
I vote for having it done at home because both of my kids had a rough time with the anesthesia and presciption pain medicine. It's nice to have your mom handy when you can't keep things down! Lots of kids do just fine and don't miss a beat, but it was a very unpleasant week for my kids.
