Getting two teeth pulled?!


Question:

Getting two teeth pulled?

Okay, in a few days, I have to get two of my baby teeth pulled. One of them has a cavity. They are worried about it spreading. The tooth is about to come out, they said within 2 months. However, they said it MUST come out before. There is also another tooth, I never understood why they want to pull it out, it has no cavity. It is a baby tooth. My baby teeth are almost out. My family has history of baby teeth staying in long. They said that one of the teeth is hanging by a thread, and the other barely attached. Two years ago I got a tooth pulled, it hurt like HELL. They assured me it wouldn't hurt, but that didn't happen. Even with the novacane, it still hurt. They even apologized. They said that it was hanging by a thread, but when took it out, said the root was much longer than they had thought. Please give me an honest answer--will this hurt much? I am really scared of the dentist after that last encounter, maybe I'm just being a baby. Thanks for help. (had to cut some out bc 2 long

Several of you mentioned sedetation? I've been under sedetation before for surgery (tonsils). I didn't realise that dentists could do this. Would I have to be in a hospital for this? The dentist would probably think I'm making a big deal out of nothing. Thanks guys :)


Answers:

My 6yo just had a baby tooth pulled that had a cavity. We went to a pediatric dentist because thay have more experience with children. They us a topical numbing gel and a shot of novacaine my daughter did not cry or anything she did not even know he had pulled it out. I think it really depends on the dentist. Our dentist rocks. His name is Dr. Wells in Brownsburg 317-852-8113
