“What can I do for my child's pain when they had their teeth pulled out?”
My 6-year-old daughter had two of her front teeth pulled out today and is still bleeding a little from it (the procedure was a few hours ago). She's also still in pain. Is there anything I can do to help her heal?

Cold compress over the area.
I think it should not be any problems, but if she is really having pain, give her some painkillers. And check her for the bleeding presence tomorrow.
A six-year-old child's front teeth, if they are their primary teeth, their permanent teeth are starting to move downward placing pressure on the "baby" teeth's roots, dissolving the roots. By age six, the front teeth are mostly in soft tissue and will loosen soon, if they are not already loose, since you stated that there was a little bleeding, and the procedure was done several hours ago. Most children with primary teeth loosen the teeth themselves. If her permanent teeth were coming in front of or behind her "baby" teeth, your daughter may have been given some local or topical anesthesia. You may have been given some instructions, calling her dentist to find out how to deal with any discomfort, may be of help.
The dentist providing the service you described will be better able to answer your question.
For traditional medicine you can of course use Advil as I am not a fan of Tylenol. What we usually like to use is Homeopathic Remedies like Arnica for trauma and bruising and Hypericum for pain
