HELP Does getting a tooth pulled out hurt. N does braces hurt?
Don't worry, when you get your teeth cleaned you get no anaesthetic, so you feel everything that happens. For procedures like teeth implantation or teeth pulling out, the doctor will give you medication that will make you feel nothing. Taking medication beforehand doesn't help, a painkiller doesn't stop pain that is provoked (if someone pinches you when you have taken the painkiller, it doesn't mean you won't hurt!). But after the procedure, if you have some pain, you can take paracetamol or ibuprofen. By the way, wait and see, perhaps your new teeth will come out just fine!
Reply:I don't understand your question... first you ask about getting a tooth pulled, then you say you're genetically missing 2 teeth and have to have 2 put in? Do you have to have one pulled or not? and why?





You already have a career and you haven't lost your baby teeth yet? LOL, what career is that? modeling?
Reply:Getting a tooth pulled does not have to hurt, but you have a lot of fear to get thru. When I had my wisdom teeth taken out, I did not have pain because the dentist numbed the area with a needle (which was more like a tickle) and then cut each tooth into 4 pieces to extract. You may be able to get a temporary tooth that can be taken out for cleaning.





Braces are uncomfortable for the first day or so after tightening, then less. You've already come a long way in deciding on the surgery. Now give yourself credit for taking the next steps. That way, when your experience is over, you'll have something pleasant to say to someone who asks for your advice in this area.
Reply:My friends who got braces say that braces do hurt a fair bit the first few days, but they stop after a week or so.





The first time I got my teeth pulled out when I was 7, the dentist used a needle to inject something into my gums so I wouldn't feel anything. It didn't hurt at all, but my lips felt really puffy afterwards although they looked fine. They felt really tingly too.





The 2nd and 3rd time, I think they did something to ease the pain, but I still felt it. I doubt it hurt nearly as much as it would without the pain killer, but it still hurt a fair bit, but only when the teeth were coming out. Then again, I was 9 or 10 at the time so it might not hurt as much.





If you go through surgery, wouldn't they give you an anesthetic of some sort so you don't feel anything?





I don't have much advice for how to relax about this since ever since I was a kid I enjoyed going to the dentist for the fluoride shower where they stick trays of foamy stuff in your mouth. I think maybe you should just think about the bright side: You're gonna have perfect teeth there! My teeth were actually pretty crummy when I was 12 since my lower jaw was smaller than it was supposed to be, and my front teeth were quite yellow.
