I'm interested to know what happens when you get a tooth pulled?

Extractions: Your dentist will numb the area so you don't feel anything. Then she\he will remove it with special dental instruments. At that point you will be give post-op instructions. Then you will have a space where the tooth was removed. Most likely, you will need to have that tooth replaced. Ask all your questions to the dentist removing the tooth. Good luck.

Healing: After the tooth is pulled, the socket fills with blood clot. This clot turns into bone over several months. The overlying gum tissues grow over the socket.
