[QUOTE="susiestar, post: 517332, member: 1233"] Is this part of drug seeking? Around here a LOT of the kids get excited when a friend gets teeth out because then they have pain medications and the other kids hope to "share" them or to bully them out of the kid or to steal them from the kid. The dentists and oral surgeons warn parents of this and tell them to get a second bottle from the pharmacy and only send one day's medications to school when the child goes back but still needs them, and to keep the rest at home locked up. They also say that if your child has a friend over then the medications should be locked away even f you trust the other kid because the pressure has gotten REALLY bad over this. One poor kid ended up at the ER in severe pain because all the pain medications were given to or taken by "friends" less than 24 hours after the surgery. I also wonder if her mouth hurts and someone told her that it was her wisdom teeth and not anything else so she is blindly determined to believe it is that. At some point you have to let it be her mouth and her problem if she doesn't brush. She will be an adult and responsible for those bills before too many more years, and in fact you can tell the doctor taht you will only pay for the bare minimum for her because she won't take any of his advice. We had to do that with Wiz and even CPS backed us up when my mother tried to report us for medical neglect for not getting braces for him. He flat refused to brush, to see the dentist, or to have them anyway, but my mother thought we shoudl just magically take him and get it done anyway. Then he moved in with HER and she gave up that battle too. [/QUOTE]
