Very glad now that this thread got bumped so I have a frame of reference for the next few days. When we met with the dentist this morning, he had decided he was going to pull all 4 of my daughter's wisdom teeth, considering she has to be off her biologic for such lengths of time, to do this sort of work. Aside from the other work they did, he pulled the top 2 wisdom teeth, even though they weren't through yet. As it turns out, the bottom 2 are quite impacted, and so he decided to refer her to an oral surgeon to have those ones removed.

He said he could probably take them out but considering they're impacted, and taking into account her medical history, he'd rather be ultra safe than sorry, hence the oral surgeon route. His other reasoning was that she had quite a lot done in one appointment (they planned to do a mega appointment because of the aforementioned biologic complications) and he didn't want to try removing the impacted ones and make life absolutely miserable for her or risk any damage to her jaw/nerves/whatever.

She's looking a little chipmunk cheeked and is quite sore. She's zonked out at the moment, which I'm sure is the best thing for her right now. I found some old fashioned ice bags and bought a couple of them for her to use for the swelling. The base of them is just about perfect to cover the area.
