All you can do is follow the advice given I think. Ensure she is as comfortable as possible and don't give yourself too hard a time.
Swallowed blood often makes people vomit so she might need something to get rid of the blood but to avoid spitting (it will slow the healing process) just letting it drool out into something disposable might be good.
A constant supply of liquid to rinse her mouth out and possible some form of age appropriate pain killer.
It could bleed for a while so don't worry about it. It's a wet environment so it has different rules about clotting.
Just relax, the teeth are gone, the wounds are there, time will do the rest.

I remember from having teeth out as a kid (the official way and having the odd one knocked out playing rugby) that it often bled for quite a few hours afterwards - it's normal, I'm afraid. :(

You're not being silly. You're a mum - you're supposed to worry. :)

Seriously, though - just do what you've been asked to do and things will sort themselves out.
