Getting teeth pulled?
you will be numbed and shouldn't feel anything but pressure..


will mom let you use nitrous oxide (laughing gas)?


it will relax you during the procedure
Reply:It won't be that bad...I've had four molars pulled and two wisdom teeth cut out. They will put a numbing solution on your gums before they inject it with more numbing solution. (You won't feel pain...if you do, tell the dentist immediately). Your mouth will just feel different. After the numbing solution wears off (after they are already pulled), your mouth will ache a bit. But nothing terribly painful.





Keep an ice pack on it when you get home...it will help. Don't worry...you'll be fine! Good Luck!
Reply:Types of extraction





An extracted 3rd molar that was horizontally impacted.Extractions are often categorized as "simple" or "surgical".








Simple extractions are performed on teeth that are visible in the mouth, usually under local anaesthetic, and require only the use of instruments to elevate and/or grasp the visible portion of the tooth. Typically the tooth is lifted using an elevator, and subsequently using dental forceps, rocked back and forth until the periodontal ligament has been sufficiently broken and the supporting alveolar bone has been adequately widened to make the tooth loose enough to remove.








Surgical extractions involve the removal of teeth that cannot be easily accessed, either because they have broken under the gum line or because they have not erupted fully. In a surgical extraction the doctor may elevate the soft tissues covering the tooth and bone and may also remove some of the overlying and/or surrounding bone tissue with a drill or osteotome. Frequently, the tooth may be split into multiple pieces to facilitate its removal.





There will be pain afterward but you should get pain meds for it. I have to have one pulled soon too. Just be calm and do EVERYTHING the dentist says and you will be fine.
Reply:I have to be honest, it does hurt.


Not that bad though, and I wasn't under. Oh, it helps if you aren't stressed.





Be forewarned, you will drool! Like very badly, but its not bad.
