i am due to have a tooth pulled?!


Question: I am due to have a tooth pulled?
how long does this typically take? its a back molar (not wisdom) and im going to a oral surgeon office to get it done.will they have to put me out or will i be able to stay awake?

im VERY nervous! the longer i sit in that chair, the bigger chance at having a panic attack (i cant use gas because it's 100 bucks extra not covered by insurance :( )

Answers:

Ok. I am SO with you. Believe me. I was in your shoes 3 days ago. I had to have a tooth pulled and was scared for the same reason. If you are going to an oral surgeon then you will probably be put under. But it is normally fast. I went to my regular dentist just yesterday. He numbed the area good. The longest part was waiting for the numbing effect to take place. Then he used these pliers, yanked ONCE and the tooth was out. My tooth was underneath a crown, it had root canal years ago. I don't know if that makes a difference as to the speed of the pulling, but I can ASSURE you it was nothing at all. I too panic if I am sitting too long. I hate getting fillings and I absolutely detest root canals. Getting a tooth pulled is easy. It's the recovery that is not fun-- no eating good food for a while! lol



I think you should need to be awake.it is really hurting.hope you can uphold to it.
and after that i suggest you to buy a dental camera,it is good for your to take care of your teeth.

Actually pulling the tooth, a minute or 2. All the sitting around waiting for the dentist, who knows. If you get gas they will not let you drive home afterwards.



They cold prob inject something that will numb the area but usaully not all the way my best advice is after they say they numbed it say u still feel alot
