Dentist and 2 month old

Soo....my last wisdom tooth is growing in....horribly!! I swear, all the teeth on my bottom are being pushed together as this tooth grows, and my whole right side of my mouth is swallen. I called the dentist yesterday and made an appt for 6pm... since then the pain got soo much worse. I got no sleep last night. The office opens at 9am and I am going to ask for the earliest appt possible. Now, here's my question... I wrote my SIL to see if she can babysit... if I don't get in touch with her, do you think it's OK for me to bring DS with me...He's almost 12 weeks old now... I'm sure it'll be fine, but if they are pulling on my tooth or something, and he starts to cry...what do you do? Just curious whoever else may have had this situation... Thanks!!

I don't think I would bring him if there is any other option. I had mine removed, and it kind of took a while, and I was in recovery while they waited for the bleeding to lessen. good luck!

i see patients w inants all the time the baby is either in the infant carrier or stroller and its fine. if xrays r needed one of the office staff will watch yje baby.

i have a patient who has a yr old child and bought her a portable dvd player. she pops in the dvd and u wouldnt even notice a babys around

hope u feel better

eta: im not sure if the will take it out today. that may have to be re scheduled or referred to a os. if they reschedule u i would prob make it when someone is avail to watch ds
