Today I will be going to the dentist to have a tooth pulled. I have already been once and they told me that it was infected, and gave me some antibiotics. The day (at this time night) has finally come to where I need to get it pulled, but it still feels painful... I am a hypochondriac so I am terribly worried about this entire situation. The dentist I go to does not put you to sleep. They only use numbing meds.... Any advice as how I should calm down. Better yet... Anyone been through this???
Infected Tooth Extraction?
I've had three teeth infected at one time and two weeks ago I had 7 extracted. I had the sedation but it didnt do anything. I thought the numbing wouldnt be enough but it was. It lasted all day. They apply a topical anesthetic so you dont feel the injection. The injection takes a little while to work but once it does, you wont feel a thing. It's really not as bad as what I thought it was going to be. Since then, Ive been numbed twice for scaling and fillings. Everytime the numbing has lasted for at least 6 hours. Just make sure to follow the instructions after so you dont get dry socket.
