Uses a needle and the area around the tooth.
Not as bad as you think -- trust me!! Worrying was the worst part.
(I think these people are trying to frighten u)

It matter where your teeth are that're being pulled out.
If they're on the top, the dentist will give you a couple shots directly below the tooth to be pulled, on the gums. That will numb up and you won't feel it.
If they're bottom teeth, the dentist will have to do what's called a mandible block, where he shoots novocaine into a nerve which runs down the back of your jaw, between your top and bottom jaw. This numbs the entire side of the face where the shot was given...including half your tongue and your lips. It feels weird.
The shots hurt a little. It's just a little pinch, nothing major. Don't worry; you won't be screaming in pain or trying to jump up out of the chair. It's uncomfortable, but it's not that painful.

HI- My Dentist puts a little gel on my numbing site first, very similar to Anbesol, waits a few minutes, then does the injection with a numbing agent, usually called Novacaine. It does feel like a poke, AND BE PREPARED- DON'T FIGHT IT OR MOVE. It is a few minutes later, when ur jaw area feels numb, that the teeth will be taken out. It is not a big procedure, but, I understand ur question totally. Do NOT suck on a straw afterwards for a few days, as u can get "dry socket"- which can be very painful. This, too, can be readily healed by going back to the Dentist, where he will put some kind of gauze in ur "new hole"- THIS IS RARE- JUST BEWARE of the NOT SUCKING ON A STRAW! You will be just fine. It will not take long, and it will be good to get those out of there. GOOD LUCK TO YOU! TAKE CARE!

If you are a nervous patient, the dentist can put this gel on your gums which numbs that area so that the injection wont hurt. You will have to ask for it though as this isnt really standard in adults. They do it for children. I would make it clear when you make the appointment that you are very nervous and will be wanting the gel to numb the injection site. Good luck. I was terrified of dentists having had a bad experience in childhood too. However, now I go reguarly and nothing hurts as much as I used to imagine!!!

Dentists numb your mouth by giving you a needle. The needle is relatively large and hurts a fair bit, but only for a few seconds. Then, you can't feel much in your mouth anymore but slight vibrations and your lips go numb.

It sounds worse than it is but they'll rub some jelly on your gums, which will sort of slightly numb the area and then they'll use a needle to inject the full strength numbing, which really you wont feel at all. They'll let you sit for 5-10 minutes and wait till it starts to work which will feel really really weird the first time - basically as if half your tongue and lip is really swollen - it feels like its gone gigantic but really its normal. After that you wont feel anything until after the numbing wears off after a few hours when it might be a bit sore.

I got 7 teeth pulled about 4 months ago!
So you are lucky only 2 are getting pulled!
Ok there are 2 ways. Either they give you one shot in the cheeck or they give you a ton of shots around the area they are working on.
First before any of the shots they take this jelly stuff on a Q-Tip and rub it around the area they will work on.
Try to not talk much or do anything with your mouth when it is numb!
I tried to talk and I bit my lip really hard and it was bleeding but I didn't feel it!
Hope this helps, and GOOD LUCK!

Ok... I've been though this... it depends, if your pulling out a tooth or more serous stuff, he will give you a shoot, don't worry trust me it will only hurt a bit close your eyes and relax, but if its not so serious he will rub some numbing cream on it and do what he has to... don;t worry I PROMISE that it won't hurt... :) i was scared of the dentist and i still am... but you'll be okay... :) its really nothing... good luck!

The dentist takes a Q tip and swabs your gum with Novocaine. Its sort of like Ora gel or Anbesol except it deadens the gum. He or she then pricks the gum with a pin- like needle to completely numb the gum. Don't think about it and you will barely even know what the dentist is doing.

i had all of my baby teeth pulled so i can give you a great answer.
they are going to put a gel (it's like oragel) to do a basic numbing. after that sets in ( like 3 mins) they will use a little needle to inject some novicane. it doesn't hurt. but if you are scaed of needels ( i am) then ask your denist to warn you before he or she does. and when they are going to just close your eyes and open your mouth extremly wide.
the actual teeth pulling does not hurt it's just the nose of it coming out so just go to your happy place.
i hppe that helps!
