Is It Safe To Remove The Wisdom Teeth In A Child After A Mild Concussion?
My very healthy 15 yr old daughter suffered a mild concussion after hitting her head on the floor during a basketball game. She still has a headache 5 days later. Is it safe for her to get her wisdom teeth pulled 3 days from now? (1 week post concussion?)
