What does it feel like to have teeth removed?

Question

Tommorrow I am getting 4 of my 2nd to back teeth out because they don't have adult teeth underneth, then the week after that I'm going to have braces put it. I hate injections so much, and with my 2 fillings I told them to hold the injection. I've seen my sister have teeth taken out before and it looks so..gross.

What does it feel like when the dentist has got your tooth in metal thing and yanking away?

Thanks.

Answer 1

Relax, it isn't that bad. I have long roots so when I get my teeth pulled, I have to go to the oral surgeon.
Ya go in, you get the teeth pulled, you come home with some painkillers, you take a nice hot bath and go to sleep for hours.
Make sure you get the prescription filled before you go home so that when the anesth...wears off, you can pop a few as the pain reminds you of the day's adventure. Rinse your mouth out with warm water and salt, relax. Rejoin the dream...in a couple of days, you'll be fine.
Really,it's no one's favorite thing to do but its not that big of a deal either. Relax.
(if you bear the x-rays, you can definitely bear the pulling. Personally, I think the x-rays are a bigger pain in the rear than the pull.)
Remember Advil and soup will get ya through this.
(As if anyone needs an excuse to eat soup this time of year.)

Answer 2

I'll recall my experience.

I've had 6 teeth pulled out of my mouth in total this far, and don't plan to get any more taken out any time in the future. Anyways, here's basically what happens. You'll get into the chair and your dentist will inject you with a local anesthetic. If you, hating needles and injections, decide not to take the anesthetic, you WILL be sorry for it later. Suck it up for a moment and take the injection. After some other preparations, your dentist will take his pliers and give the teeth in question a little nudge. He'll ask you if you feel pressure or if you feel pain. If you feel pain, by all means, TELL HIM so that he can give you another dose of anesthetic. If all you feel is pressure, tell him. Depending on your dentist he may or may not ask if you want another dose of anesthetic just for safety's sake. Anyways, the actual procedure is pretty painless. You'll feel the pressure as he pulls the tooth out but it should otherwise not really hurt.

Afterwards if the bleeding is bad, he might give you sterile strips of gauze to help stop the bleeding. Usually, for baby teeth though that shouldn't be too much of a problem and your bleeding will probably stop very quickly.

Now... braces are a whole different story.

Answer 3

I had four of my wisdom teeth pulled last summer. One at a time. There is nothing you can do to prepare for it. Top teeth were better in that they healed faster with no worries...BUT they put the needle in the roof of your mouth..that's where the nerves all run, so the pain of the needle will make your eyes water, it's an awful feeling.
You wont feel the yanking too bad, They'll grab the tooth and sort of wiggle it from side to side then yank. Usually comes out first pull. No worries.
--------
One warning: My last tooth was a bottom one, ended up with a very painful condition called dry socket. Horrible horrible pain for too many days, too many sleepless nights. When you have a tooth pulled you need to leave the socket alone for at least 24 hours or more, the blood clot needs to remain in the hole so that the gums will grow over. So that means no eating on that side, no drinking with a straw as the pressure inside your mouth while sucking the straw can dislodge the clot, no picking at it with a toothbrush or finger or tongue. Just leave it alone for as long as possible.
With dry socket they'll pack your tooth with some sort of mixture of cloves or clove oil which is an atiseptic(to clean the socket) and an anaesthetic(which will take the pain away) and fast. It was instant relief as soon as my dentist packed it. Healed up fine after that.
Sorry so long winded..lol, just wouldn't want anybody on the planet to ever have to feel the pain of dry socket ever! Wouldn't wish it on my worst enemy...or would I :)

Answer 4

I had 8 teeth pulled out 4 for braces and 4 molars. Tell you the truth when i had to get braces i had 4 teeth that are right next to the canine and those didtn hurt that much....on the other had i wished i never had my molars taken out. The needle was no problem even though it stung a little, but the problem was when the surgen was trying to pull the molar that hasnt came out all the way he was yankin and yanking for like 5 mins. I didnt feel anything because of novacaine but that *** hole ruined my jaw. Now everytime i open my mouth i have this crack and i have pain on my jaw sometimes. After the molars were pulled i had a chimpmunk cheeks because they were swollen so badly and it killed for like the next 2 weeks. The worst pain ever in my whole life and it sucks the fact that i couldnt chew for like the next 2 weeks.

Answer 5

My daughter has the same the same problem with injections.He gave her 1 Valium the night before to help relax her.Once you get past the injection all you should feel is a lot of pressure but no real pain.Even when the Novocaine wears off there may be some discomfort, but usually a Tylenol will take care of that.

Answer 6

I got two teeth pulled as a kid, it wasn't that bad. I had no room in my mouth and needed braces, so they took 2 out. They injected me with anastesia which was in a needle in my gums which stung but that was it. Then my teeth were numb and they just pulled them out. You can feel them being pulled out but doesn't hurt. You bleed a lot and keep cotton in your mouth for a few hours. When the meds wear off it feels sore. Might not be able to eat for a few hours. That's all I remember.

Answer 7

well, there is a lot of bone crunching noise and pressure as most dentists use an elevator, a tool that shoves under the tooth so they can lift and apply steady force to cause the tooth to fly out of the socket and hit the dental assistant in the forehead!! I know cause it happened to me!!the dentist started laughing and the girl was just staring at me!and i started laughing ,probably cause I was on nitrous gas!! but it happened so quick it didnt hurt?

Answer 8

I didn't feel it due to the shots. Baby teeth don't have the same root make up as perminent teeth. They should be a bit easier to remove but painfull still.I too have had fillings with no shot. Having the teeth pulled was very different then the pain of a filling. If they have to chisel them out you could have mega-pain.

Good luck!

Answer 9

Well, they numb you up so you can't feel anything, and don't be scared of the needle, because they usually rub this stuff on your gums to numb it up for the needle.
Then when they pull your tooth, you can't really feel anything, just a little pressure. Not too big of a deal.

Also, don't be afraid of the needle, I HATE needles...but the ones the dentist has are so small, they don't really hurt. Press lightly on your gum for one second with your finger nail...that is all you really feel, if that (because of the numbing stuff they put on before).

Answer 10

I've had 3 wisdom teeth removed. It doesn't hurt at all. The dentist first numbs my gums with the gel, then gives a shot to numb them. Only feeling I had was of him pulling to get them out, no pain whatsoever. And even after the numbness wears off, it never really hurt, He gave me medication for pain that I never even had to take.
