I have to get my teeth pulled tomorrow...does it hurt?
Not really. You have that many pain killers that it really doesnt hurt too much at all. The pain is worse a couple of days after when it bruises a little bit, but even then i think people make it sound worse than it is.
Reply:You will feel no pain and it will be over before you know it !!!


Good luck.
Reply:Yes, afterwards it hurts. But they give you medication to sleep. It%26#039;s best to pull them rather than live with the reason they need pulled!
Reply:Calm down it is not bad just some discomfort. Needle is not big deal unless you freak out about it. I have been stuck with needles plenty-no big deal. The anxiety of it is the worst thing. Just calm down and get a good night sleep. If you are worried about pain as the dentist to give you something to go home on. Most likely they will anyway. It just feels weird for a few days in your mouth with a hole where the tooth used to be.
Reply:they put the needle in the mouth ===you can choose to have gas to make you groggy enough that you won%26#039;t feel anything happening while the dentist works on your teeth and you are in a dody mood when you go home =make sure someone is with you okay and good luck
Reply:I%26#039;ve had two pulled in the last year. I%26#039;m not going to lye, it%26#039;s not pleasant, but it%26#039;s certainly not the worst thing the world. You%26#039;ll feel pressure more than anything else but you%26#039;ll be numb so it%26#039;s ok. Afterward, you might hurt a little, but the dentist should give you pills. Just relax and everything will be ok. Good luck.
Reply:The needles are horribly long and you can hear them, but they numb the area before injecting, its not sore really. As for the actual pulling, NOT AT ALL SORE. You feel absolutly nothing apart from a pulling sensation. and might see a lot of blood, don%26#039;t worry. I thought getting mine out was fun actually, and I hate needles, but ya just got to grow up and face it, its fine.





They are putting you to sleep? (just read the end of the post)


Well what the f*ck are you worried about then? I was fully concious!


When you%26#039;re under anesthesia its like your awake one second, then you wake up the next second and you%26#039;re somewhere else. (or in your case the teeth are gone)


Its pretty cool.
Reply:It doesn%26#039;t hurt a lot , but what about trying and telling us , lol ?
Reply:I have a fear of dentists. I have had half my teeth pulled and they have used IV sedation. Best thing ever. It does hurt afterward. But usually they give you pain meds to help it. Good Luck
Reply:It depends on which tooth your pulling. Molars and other teeth are ok and it doesn%26#039;t really hurt. I got 4 molars removed just for my braces! They actually stick the needle into your gums/vein to numb it with Novacaineand pull it out. They use gas to put you to sleep. The only thing you%26#039;ll feel when they pull your teeth is pressure, its not painful but uncomfortable. If your pulling out Wisdom Teeth it might be another story and it might take some days to heal. Other than Wisdom teeth, the other teeth are fine to pull out and it heals within a day or 2days. There isn%26#039;t much pain afterwards, just slight discomfort. Well, think about it, there are far more worst pain in this world than pulling teeth out like pregnancy. So don%26#039;t worry, i got 4 pulled out and it was fine. It%26#039;s not going to be scary or anything.
Reply:It depends on how many teeth get pulled. For me, they took out one tooth. It didn%26#039;t hurt at all. And I%26#039;m still a teen. It doesn%26#039;t hurt, but it bleeds A LOT. Even after the sleepiness goes away, it doesn%26#039;t hurt. Take it from someone who%26#039;s been there. It%26#039;ll be totally fine.
Reply:I had a non-impacted wisdom tooth pulled a few days ago. With proper numbing agents, you will feel the needle, and it will be at most uncomfortable. It%26#039;s not painful at all. I wasn%26#039;t even aware of the actual moment of extraction. The biggest feedback that something was happening was hearing a crack (I actually heard two of them).





The bigger problem is the aftermath. Get any prescription for painkillers and antibiotics filled immediately, and don%26#039;t be afraid to use the painkillers as needed.





In my own case, I should have had the extraction done years ago. The wisdom tooth was growing at an outward angle, cutting into my cheek. Every few years it would grow again, and cut deeper, causing severe pain. It would last a few weeks and then my cheek would adjust. This time I got rid of the tooth for good.
