Does getting a tooth removed hurt?

Answer #1

My sis had one removed, the actual extraction she said was ok, but its painful when the numbing wares off, but you can take ibuprofane or other pain killers, there will be pain for maybe a couple of days. You have to take care of the wound properly because you need a clot to help healing, so for a couple of days after you eat soft foods. My sis felt fine with painkillers , and diidnt need to take any after the first couple of days.

Answer #2

I have had at least 5 extractions in my life and it doesn’t really hurt much at all. They first inject you with anesthetic around your tooth then pull it out and it only hurts a bit after the anesthetic wears off but really it’s nothing to cry about at all. I hardly noticed.

Answer #3

depends on which ones. ones farther in back somewhat hurt for a short time.

Answer #4

Well they pretty much numb your whole mouth, so that it won’t hurt, but I thought it still still did.. Not dying pain like being stabbed in the face, about as much pain as pulling off a scab? But it’s funny when you have a numb mouth because they send you back int o the waiting room whilst they wait for it to go numb, and everyone starts looking at you weird because your drooling everywhere :P

Answer #5

Normally it’s numbed enough to where all you feel is pressure, not pain…..

Answer #6

I had to have two of my permanent teeth extracted a while ago.. I was really scared lol but I closed my eyes and I didn’t even realise that they had injected the anesthetic.. Then they pulled it out.. My lips felt numb for a while and I had ice cream to help stop the bleeding.. It was fine. Didn’t hurt at all.. Lol I think u should close ur eyes for the whole time, since when u don’t see, ur not too afraid.. I’m terrified of needles so yeah, closing my eyes helped :D but doesn’t hurt at all.

Answer #7

it hurts after the laughing gas fades away

Answer #8

Laughing gas?! Lol I didn’t know they gave u laughing gas:)

Answer #9

I got a wisdom tooth removed about 2 months ago. It didn’t hurt while being pulled because they numbed it, but it started hurting as soon as I got home. I had to take pain meds for it.

Answer #10

They only give laughing gas to special patents. :P

Answer #11

patients**

Answer #12

It doesn’t hurt at all :P

Answer #13

To me, the worst part was when they injected the shots in my teeth. It’s sort of like a pinching feeling. The pain doesn’t last very long though. Other than that, everything else is painless. I’ve gotten 4 teeth taken out on the same day before!

Answer #14

Yeah the needle is the worst and it’s hardly anything xD

Answer #15

Nah, ive had about 5 removed and it didnt hurt me at all. 1 time they broke my tooth in half, the only thing that freaks u out is the noises like cracks and stuff haha

Answer #16

Update- i’ve had it done and it really hurt afterwards :( and the overall experience was horrible, blerh. never again
