And it isn’t going to hurt on the ground? They should take the child to the ER in a foreign country?And you know an analgesic won’t help?

i think that’s the parents decision, not yours or the airline.

For it to be a serious tooth problem (infected abscess), isn’t it unlikely to just start hurting? Serious toothaches start out as minor ones
