Having a dental implant next week on bottom tooth. Is this painful? DR suggested I take a tylenol cause I ?

Question

can't take anti-inflamatories. I almost fainted. I have different kinds of dental surgery before and they are painful. DR said he doesn't prescribe anything more than a couple Tylenol, which will do nothing for pain. I have a very low threshold for pain and surgery is tomorrow and I am quite scared. Is this painful?

Answer 1

Tylenol should be fine in most cases, but if you have a low pain threshold, then suggest this to your dr so that something stronger can be given

Answer 2

the only pain involved with implants is the healing of the tissue. there are no nerves in the bone. and if youve ever had  a tooth pulled the same pain associated with the healing of an extracted tooth is about the same as the healing process from an implant.
