Question 1

how much does getting teeth pulled out hurt?

Accepted Answer

None: If the dentist anesthetizes you satisfactory, the patient should feel no pain.  Patients should only experience a pressure sensation when pulling a tooth.

Question 2

i am nervous and scared about getting teeth pulled out please help?

Accepted Answer

It's a normal feelin: Being nervous and scared of extractions is a normal response to this procedure.  However, dentists are very well trained in extracting teeth atraumatically and with minimal to no pain.  Please discuss your anxiety about extractions with your dentist and he will  discuss the entire process so you can have  a better understanding of what's going to occur. It might motivate you to better oral care.

Question 3

scared for general anesthetic when getting teeth pulled out. help?

Accepted Answer

No need to be scared: The oral surgeon(s) who will be treating you have years of training, experience, and are specially certified for this type of procedure. You'll actually be asleep, deep enough to not wake up, but not so deep that you cannot breathe on your own. Additional medications will calm you and provide an amnesic effect.

Question 4

can you please tell me if i will be knocked unconscious for getting teeth pulled out?

Accepted Answer

Possibly: Discuss the procedure with the oral surgeon or dentist who will be treating you.

Question 5

when should you get wisdom teeth pulled out?

Accepted Answer

Ideally: Most surgeons prefer to remove wisdom teeth before the roots are fully developed, which typically is during the teenage years.  If you are having a problem with any wisdom tooth that is deemed non-restorable, non-functional, causing or contributing to a problem, it should be removed asap, provided there are not contraindications for you to undergo the surgical procedure.

Question 6

what happens if you drink alcohol after you get your teeth pulled out?

Accepted Answer

Not a good idea...: 1) the liquid could easily dislodge the blood clot, leading to a bone infection. 2) the alcohol is may interfere with normal healing in your mouth. Wait a day, at least.

Question 7

please help! does getting 2 teeth pulled out hurt?

Accepted Answer

Generally: No. You should speak to your dental surgeon and have the procedure explained from topical placement through delivery of the extracted tooth. You may feel pressure however you should feel no pain.

Question 8

getting five teeth pulled out tomorrow. how long would that take?

Accepted Answer

Depends on Dentist: If it's an oral surgeon or experienced dentist probably not longer than 30 minutes.
How about talking to a dentist or dental hygienist about saving your other teeth (if you have more)?

Question 9

can you tell me how can it feel after getting your teeth pulled out..?

Accepted Answer

Tooth extraction: Usually it will feel a little strange (feeling a space where a tooth once was) and a little sore. For more difficult extractions, perhaps mild to moderate discomfort which can be easily handled with some otc or prescription pain medication.

Question 10

i am going to be getting 4 teeth pulled out. i'm wondering what type of foods can i eat while it heals?

Accepted Answer

Soft foods: Your dentist will give you instructions following the extractions.  You want to eat soft foods.  Avoid anything that is chewy, acidic, hard or spicy for a few days.  No smoking after an extraction.
