Should We Still Go Ahead with My Daughter’s Tooth Extractions?

Q.
 My daughter aged 13 was just diagnosed with Bell’s palsy. She has braces and has a scheduled appointment to have two teeth extracted to make room for more. I am wondering if she should continue with the appointment and the extractions due to the Bell’s? Will extracting teeth make her Bell’s worse? Please help if you can. Sincerely a very worried mom. She has had a rough time as it is and I don’t want to make it worse for her, but I also don’t want to prolong the years of the braces that she has to wear. Your help or insight would be greatly appreciated.

Hi, thank you for writing in. It shouldn’t make a difference having the teeth out, although you need to follow the advice of your dentist as it is generally brought on by a virus that could lay her low for a while. Kind regards, Andrew.
