My daughter had them put in when she was 2, when they let us go back after surgery to check on her she was screaming, crying, like a mad child. They told us it was the anastesia(medicine), they say all kids react a lil different. She cried for about a hour on they way home, she fell asleep
for about 3 hours that evening, woke up and was running arounnd and playing like nothing ever happened. So I would say it was very worth it, cut the doctor trips in half!!
