Tooth Extraction?!


Question:

Tooth Extraction?

I have to get a tooth extracted, its like a semi-molar. They are obviously going to numb my mouth, but when they pull it, is it going to hurt much??? I'm just a kid so I wouldn't really know. After I pull my tooth out, I need braces. And do braces hurt?

Thanks people, I'm feeling better already. Goryness (wonder if thats even a word) doesn't bother me, so I guess I'll be fine.

Thanks to all of you. It's really hard to pick a best answer. It didn't hurt much at all. And whats even better, is that afterward, like right now, it doesn't hurt at all!!! :D


Answers:

As a dentist myself I can assure you that you have nothing to worry about. Your dentist will give you an injection of Lidocaine in your gums that will block the nerve from feeling pain. The shot only feels like a small pinch and its over before you even know it. The only thing you will feel during the extraction is some pressure as your dentist pulls and pushes to loosen your tooth. Good luck and don't worry, you will be just fine!
