How long did your child's teeth hurt when they were getting their 12 year old molars?

Question

My daughter is 10 and getting her *12 year old molars.* She had to take tylenol before school and a tube of Anbesol Junior with her. Her stomach is upset and she is pretty much in pain. I can see the teeth popping through, so how much longer do you think this pain goes on?

Answer 1

yes , it was painful for my daughter. Use numbing agents. Ice cream

also makes life easier.

Answer 2

It can last a few weeks....maybe 3 to 5. That is the only time any one of my children got a cavity. My sons mouth was so sore that he did not brush back there and got a cavity in a brand new tooth! Make sure she brushes back there well......even if it does hurt. Easier said than done.

Answer 3

the pain in my girls lasted about two weeks in total. I am not looking forward to my son getting his. It is not a fun time for them but not as bad as the wisdom teeth.

Answer 4

Usually it hurts until the tooth is up through the gum completely. How long that takes varries but it can last up to two weeks or as little as a few days.
