Tooth pulled out tomorrow

Question

Hi there, I have a dentist appointment tomorrow, and im getting a baby tooth pulled out. Im 18 btw, and this baby tooth never came out, but the adult tooth underneath it is jammed and changing its direction to push into the bottom of my other teeth. I just want to know, how much is it going to hurt, how long after will hurt and will the pain be so horrible that i wont sleep tomorrow night or anything?? OMG, im soooooooooooo scared

Answer 1

oooh im 15 and in the exact same situation.  I just got back from the dentist and got told the same thing.  Ive heard that since its a baby tooth and its been their so long, it has no real strong roots.  This means a lot less nerve endings around the tooth.  Also im not sure they give you laughing gas anymore.  I think they give you a numbing injection in your gums.  

Answer 2

the dentist will probably give you an injection before pulling the tooth out and it won't hurt at all

i had one pulled out some time ago, and it only hurt a tiny bit as the injection wore off, but it was only for a little while

don't worry, you'll be fine :)

Answer 3

Wont hurt too bad.

But, if you ask for the gas (laughing gas) you will not feel any pain at all.

If your insurance covers it, then the Dr. will do it. I would ask if I were you. I had the gas when all 4 wisdom teeth got pulled and I was in no pain.
