Hello to the person reading this you will be fine don’t worry 😉

[goddenbi]

I have a back molar out today...i was dreading having it done.

The injection was painless and the procedure was stupidly easy. Lots of pressure and disturbing cracking noises but it was perfectly ok.

NO pain what so ever.

:)

It took over an hour to get my tooth out it kept breaking and crumbling. Remember to take good care of your teeth!

There's no PAIN at all, the only problem is the dentist itself.

The actual worse part is paying for it.

I’m literally getting my tooth removed in a month from now🤧 I’m crying rn but thanks you helped me not be afraid

I got 2 teeth removed at the top for braces. The procedure was ok, my dentist had to put in 3 needles instead of 2 because it was hurting. I felt a bit dizzy after but it varies for everyone. I'm on my third day now and still can't eat anything apart from jelly, ice cream and soup. I tried to eat mashed potato but it didn't work because there were too many chunks. Hopefully I can eat something filling soon! I wish luck to everyone that is getting a tooth extraction❤️️

I am scared mine is in 2 hours I will leave an update on how it went


Update: I did it it did not hurt at all you only feel at little pressure it feels cool when they pull it. Out

I'm getting a 3 tooth removal I'm so scared but thanks to this I know what to expect

[aspenivy]

waited till the last hour to watch, so glad I clicked on this and watched the surgery after. really helped me sense what I would be going through and set a calm mood

I’m 12 and I got two teeth pulled and I didn’t feel any pressure or anything! I felt a little pinch since I got four shots but that’s it. Also, my top tooth that was pulled hurts a little but other than that it went really well.

@MegzNoelzProductionz don't worry, i had seven pulled over the course of a year, all it is is the novicane, then they just pull on them with dental pliers, you just feel some pressure and are numb for like two hours afterwards. get a milkshake and itll be ok :)

I would definitely have this done on one condition: That i'de be completely knocked out during it... I mean like asleep, no feelings. I had a traumatic experience as a child where I had to have 2 adult teeth extracted and after 8 HITS OF ANESTHESIA INJECTED around the teeth, many during the procedure, it still hurt so much getting them slowly yanked out. I'm convinced that if I am to ever have a teeth removed again I would rather PAY extra to be KO'd than go through that ordeal again...

Hey I just had mine removed today and honestly no pain but it was uncomfortable but the real pain is when it’s out and the numbness starts to wear off!!! Anyone going for an extraction you will be fine, listen to some music, podcast, humming to music, close eyes and breathe!! 👌🏾💕

June of 2012 I had two teeth pulled.They first gave me laughing gas.Next they gave me a numbing gel on my gums so I wouldn't feel the shot.Next they gave me a shot and I barely felt it except for when they give you the 2nd shot behind the tooth were they didn't use numbing gel.They let that take effect then about 10 minutes later they get dental plier like tools and just twist is side ways in litterally took 5 second for each tooth.It is a very easy process and you barley feel any pain!

[noodlejuice]

I have to get three teeth pulled tomorrow. Thanks for the warning 😁

[ct]

easy work, ima opt for this instead of a root canal.

[alexisortega]

I have to get an extraction before I get my braces 😒 I haven’t felt the pain since 4 years...And my mom won’t let me do the procedure in the sleeping way

[classywolf]

I have to get 4 teeth pulled I'm scarred it's gonna hurt like heck I'm completely terrified ;-;

[CNder]

They were going to pull my infected tooth and the numbing felt weak compared to how it should feel like when I got fillings. When they started it hurt, I had a total of 3 shots and still felt pain. They checked and said my infection was inflamed blocking the novocain from getting in and working.
