Hi, I'm probably old enough to be your grandfather. I hope the wisdom that comes with age and life experience will be helpful to you.
Having 8 teeth removed at one time I'm fairly certain will leave your mother in some type of moderate pain. I sure the dentist will provide her medication to help her deal with the pain.
It is one thing to have a tooth removed because of a toothache and another thing to have teeth removed prophylactically to allow for dentures. The difference is the amount of pain one will endure because of it. Having somewhat healthy teeth removed to allow for dentures or other devices is less painful, usually.
The best thing you can do for your mother is to make sure there is plenty of ice on hand to use for ice packs. You can also dampen some wash cloths and put them in the freezer for her to wrap around her jaw.
You might also want to stock up on some ice cream, flavored ices and puddings for mom to eat. If you have a blender you can use the it to make milk shakes for her. You can blend into the shake some protein powder is she wants.
The best thing you can do for her though is to try not to get on her nerves for the next few days. If you have younger siblings; try and keep and eye on them and care for them so mom can rest.
