Your dentist has many options to control pain when having dental work done. There is no reason for it to hurt in the least. You can always take something for pain just in case, say an hour before the work you will have done, but honestly, just let your dentist know you are concerned about any pain and they can make you comfortable!

The dentist will numb your gums with a injection (shot) this stings a mite but it will numb you so all you will feel as he pulls the tooth is pressure. Your mouth will be numb for awhile after the teeth are pulled. He will give you a prescription for pain medicine for after you get home. A heating pad helps with discomfort after the procedure. Lower teeth have more discomfort after than upper teeth. The pain is more of a dull ache instead of an intense oh God help me pain. I'm sure you will do fine. Have pudding and soup on hand to eat after so you don't bite on something sharp and start the bleeding again. If it does start to bleed again you can wet tea bags and squeeze the water out and bite on them it helps soothe and stop the bleeding. See the dentist if the pain intensifies and gets deep and throbbing this could be a dry socket and will need further treatment. They place a plastic ribbon with clove powder in the whole and the pain disappears. Dry socket usually only appear on lower teeth. Good luck!

Hi there,
They will be sore after the fact. I recently had two bottom impacted wisdom teeth pulled (meaning they had to cut some of the gums). First, they will numb your gums with a pink substance, and then inject it with a local anesthetic. Then you will be given either an IV or Nitrous Oxide. You will only be out for about an hour or maybe a little longer.
Prior to your oral surgery, you will have to take some valium (to help ease nervousness). By the time you're in the seat, you'll be okay. After the surgery, you'll probably have a Rx for Vicadin to help ease any pains. You should be alright within a week's time no longer. Keep plenty of extra gauze around incase you still have slight bleeding the first day or two.
You'll be alright and good luck!

Your dentist has to sleep your mouth completely. When I was small one of my baby tooths fell out but the other permanent teeth took up the space where the new permanent tooth should of have been, so the tooth went to the back of my mouth. The dentist opened the top part of my mouth ( behind the top teeth) and pulled the tooth with the nerve and put the tooth in its place and sewed my mouth back together. When the ansthesia went away all I felt was the swelling.. no literal tooth pain. After 2 weeks the orthodontist put a bracket on that tooth so that it wouldn`t move...that was when I was 10..now I`m 29 and I`m glad I did it. Eat lots of icecream, yogurt and jello and that will help alot.

it can hurt if there is an infection. also all of are pain thresholds is different, so what may hurt one person may not bother someone else. You also have to take into account how the lidocaine works for you. The most important thing to do is to just relax.

AThe pulling will bee done with anaesthesia. The next day or two, you could be tender—manageable with pain medication.
