How do you go about getting braces from a dental school?

Should my niece go to school the following day after getting two baby teeth extracted?

• My niece is fifteen years old, and today she had two of her baby teeth pulled out because she is getting braces next month. Her mother wants her to go to school tomorrow, but I don't know if she should go. Her dentist said she may be in pain and said she could not rinse or brush her teeth for twenty-four hours also. So, should she go to school tomorrow?

• Answer:

  No, let her stay home and rest. If she's not going to rinse or brush for 24 hours, she'll have bad breath and the cruel kids will make fun of her and start all sorts of crap. Plus, if she's in pain, let her take pain meds and sleep all day. She sure shouldn't have PE/gym class. Missing 1 day is not going to hurt her. If it was my kid, she'd stay home.
