Getting teeth pulled....?
The most pain comes from the shots you get to numb your mouth, but once the novacaine takes effect there is very little pain. You may feel some pressure, but if there is any pain tell your dentist. They can give you more novacaine. Most of the pain comes after the drugs wear off, but the dentist will prescribe something like vicodin to help deal with that pain.


Many dentist have gas nitrous oxide. It helps some but once your past the injections you will be ok. I recently got dentures and had 20 teeth pulled.
Reply:No. It is a little scary, but even if you are awake you are under so much local anesthesia that you can%26#039;t feel anything. I always get stressed before I go in, and then I leave feeling a little silly. And I%26#039;m TERRIFIED of dentists, especially teeth pulling.
Reply:Usually they numb it or put you to sleep, you can%26#039;t really feel %26#039;extreme%26#039; pain but it%26#039;s still a little bothersome. I hate getting teeth pulled too.
Reply:They will numb you before they do it...Its not as bad as you think its going to be..I had to have 4 teeth pulled for braces and I had myself all worked up for nothing...The numbing shots are bearable althought not the greatest feeling in the world and I was eating the same day as having my teeth pulled...Dont sweat it...Everything will be fine!
Reply:They most likely will put you to sleep, and after i got mine pulled i honestly wouldn%26#039;t have known they had done it if it wasnt for the gauze in my mouth. just so long as you follow the instructions the doctor gives you for follow-up (dry socket is no fun!), you%26#039;ll be fine. its more of a pain in the butt than anything, just enjoy watching movies and eating yogert for a few days :)
Reply:It is not painful at all. I had four extracted within the past two weeks. Just prepare to gag alot. But other than that I was fine....and these were teeth that were broken off underneath my gums.
