How painful is it to have teeth pulled?

Yeah, umm ... NOW the Dr. decides he wants to pull a wisdom tooth and another to boot - I have NEVER had a tooth pulled. I know they will numb it up during - but what kind of pain am I looking at post-pulling? Do they give you meds to help your gimpy head out?

How painful is it to have teeth pulled?
If the dentist gives you enough Novocaine, you won%26#039;t feel a thing. Just a little pressure. My dentist gives nitrous oxide as well, so you feel the shots of Novocaine, but you don%26#039;t really care. Afterwards the pain isn%26#039;t that bad. Ibuprofen works well, and you might want to use ice packs on your jaws, for the swelling. I wouldn%26#039;t recommend sedation. Many people wake up feeling very nauseated.

The dentist asuured me that my teeth were loose enough that novacaine would indeed dull the pain. That was bull$%%26amp;!!!!.





Tell your dentist to sedate you! Report It

Reply:It%26#039;s the needle that stings for a few seconds but after that you won%26#039;t feel a thing. It is all over before you know it. Having said that I%26#039;m scared shitless of going.
Reply:Yes, they will give you meds. While the tooth is being pulled is the worst part, after that it%26#039;s just a bit sore. During the procedure, you might get a combo of nitrous and novacaine. It makes it tolerable.
Reply:Really painful if done under anaesthasia, when the effect withdraws.Try using Homoeo pills of Arnica Montana in 200 potency.
Reply:I would pay the cost for IV sedation. You will be given meds to take after.. Some people such as me didn%26#039;t take them I had 3 pulled at one time with no problem
Reply:do IV sedation
Reply:Why worry about it go to an Oral Surgeon and get a general anesthetic, Which in laymens terms get knocked out. While you sleep pain meds are administered even a long acting type numbing agent is given so when you wake up you feel no discomfort, a Prescription can be provided you can get it filled and take it as needed to help with any discomfort you may have if any later. With a general though you will need a driver with you someone that can drive you home, also a iv sedation can be used too if you have no one to drive you home.You may drive your self a few minutes later after a recovery assistant dismisses you. You do get meds to help you manage discomfort. So don%26#039;t worry dentistry is no longer Midevil.
