Well, darling.....I should advice u one thing first: Definitely you are very very nervous and anxious about it. If you want to help your body being tranquil so the anesthesic can make a good job is to take some tranquilizer before they make the extraction of your tooth. This way you will be more relaxed and this substance even will help to improve the results of the anesthesic.
Ask your dentist to give you some tranquilizer dosis.
After that the dentist should put some local anesthesic in your gum or in the place where he/she will put the injection. They should need to wait around one to three minutes, so the effect of the local anesthesic works. After that they should put the anesthesic with a needle, yes, but you will like if someone has pinched you. Then they will need to wait till they check that the anesthesic has done the work. They shouldn't start before 10 mi nutes after the needle work. That is my opinion. Another thing that helps is to inject a few drops of anesthesic, then waiting around 2 minutes, then injecting slowly the rest of anesthesic, so practically you wouldnt feel anything. But know this: you will remain feeling pressure and the movements that the dentist makes, but that doesnt mean you would feel pain. There are different kind sensors: sensors for pressure, sensors for pain, etc. And the last sensors that get asleep are the ones related to feel pressure, so, dont be panicked if you feel the movements of the doctor or the pressure he does.
Be tranquil....I know you will be ok.
But I also advice you to talk with the doctor first, telling you all ur fears, and if he doesnt seem to be hearing u, then change of dentist.
Good luck.

Well, first of all if you're that nevous about the procedure then you should ask about consious sedation or have the nitrous oxgyen while your ther(that's laughing gas), this will make you more comfortable and lessen the stress of your visit. The doctor place a little something on the gums to numb the first layer of tissue, this is called a topical anesthetic, this takes the sting out of the injection, then he'll use a local anesthetic to numb the tooth and the surrounding area so that you won't feel anything exect pressure. Then before you know it the tooth will be out and you'll feel much better. I had all four of my wisdom teeth out one morning and went to a Cash Money concert that very evening. You'll be fine, GOOD LUCK.

The needle doesnt really hurt, trust me I'm a drama queen and can't handle pain. The pulling feels a little weird. If the tooth IS NOT COMING OUT after a couple minutes I would ask them to reavaluate the tooth.

it depends on which tooth it is and how loose it is. but yes it will hurt the needle dosn't hurt it makes it so you will not feel any pain. but the dentist should give you some pain killers so you will still be ok. In about 2 weeks it will be fine and not hurt at all but everyone is different. the dentist basically gets a pair of plier like things and pulls your tooth out. it is all over really quick. Then the blood comes out. it is not too bad you will live.

The needle feels like a pinch then your gum goes numb and you don't really feel the tooth being pulled out. If you wear headphones with your favorite cd playing everything will go super fast.
I had 5 pulled before I got my braces.
Good Luck!

DONT PANIC! lol so depending on your dentist..some use a big needle that can look painful some dentists like the one i go to use a teeny tiny thing that looks like a toothpick and i swear you can barely feel it at ALL. and i have had teeth pulled and you think it would hurt but you can barely feel it at all after the numbing trust me your nerves are always worse than what it actually is dont let yur nerves get the best of you.

Usualy an anaesthetic gel is placed on your gum with the aid of a cotton ball. When your gum in numb enough then the injecyion is given to deaden the nerves surrounding the tooth to be pulled. Use some visualization and relaxed breathing and the tooth will be gone before you know it :) Tell the dentist you are scared too, they will take care of you :)

ok well it didnt hurt me or my sisters because we have all had one tooth pulled but pain is different for everyone so what might hurt one person may not hurt another. For example getting my tooth pulled hurt me but my sister said she could barely feel anything. Just don't worry about the pain won't last forever and wouldn't you rather have pain that last about an hour than have that tooth in your mouth for the rest of your life which may cause pain forever!!

I had a tooth pulled.
One DO not look at the needle and two
don't make the mistake of refusing the pain killer!
It's ok it hardly hurts just a slight sting for about 2 seconds then gone, three relax and breath calmly and tell yourself, It's not going to hurt,
Goodluck!

They give you hardly any Novocaine, so you can feel most of it, then they cut the side of your gum next to the tooth open to loosen up the tooth and then yank it out with these plier type of things. And if that's not bad enough they shove some more needles in and sew it closed.
Have fun
