I HATE NEEDLES AND THAT TOO. BUT I HAD TO HAVE 7 TEETH PULLED, AND ALOT OF NOVACANE TO NUMB MY MOUTH, I JUST CLOSED MY EYES AND DIDN'T EVEN LOOK AT THE NEEDLE. AND THE DENTIST GAVE ME A MIRROR TO CLENCH ON. IT WAS OVER LIKE THAT. HE HAD TO SHOOT MY MOUTH ABOUT 9 TIMES, SO I WOULDN'T FEEL IT. SO MY ADVICE CLOSE YOUR EYES, AND HOLD SOMETHING. TIGHT.OR ASK YOUR DENTIST IF THEY HAVE LAUGHING GAS, IT PUTS YOU OUT. AND YOU WON'T FEEL A THING. BUT HAVE SOMEONE THERE TO DRIVE YOU HOME.

Well first you need to go to the dentist and just get an exam and xrays first and then you can talk to you dr about what procedures you may need to have done and then you can ask if your dr uses nitrous oxide aka laughing gas. Nitrous takes the edge off. Also some of my patients take 5-10mg of valium or something like that that has been prescribed for them. Those will take the edge off.
Having any tooth extracted is going to hurt but it's not that bad I had all 4 wisdom teeth removed at the same time and I was in no pain but everyone is different.
Just call and make the appt to talk to the dr.
Good Luck

I hate going to the dentist too. A tooth pull is not painful if they insert the thing with the needle that makes you numb. But don't be scared, it will all be alright.
Hope this Helps! =)

If you're referring to a tooth extraction, they're not painful at all. The feeling is more that of pressure than of pain, which is very tolerable.
If you're referring to Thoth, I can't help you out, as I haven't had any Egyptian deities removed lately.

After freezing, you won't feel anything... just have a painkiller on hand to take before the freezing comes out (about 2 hours after freezing) and keep it up for a day or two...

After the shot, at the top of the mouth, (I'm not helping am I??) It wouldn't hurt. They pull your teeth out and you feel numb for 2 hours. YAY.

Send your friend to the dentist first...If he says "no problem, he probably wears dentures....!!!"
