Pressure: During the procedure, the local anesthetic will eliminate the pain. You will feel pressure. Afterwards, pain. How much pain depends on many factors: the degree of difficulty of the extraction, the location of the tooth, your pain threshold. Make sure you have adequate pain medication.

Tooth extraction: If a tooth has too much damage and can't be saved then in this case, the tooth needs to be extracted. Before removing the tooth, your dentist will administrate a local anesthetic for pain control and by surgical procedure tooth will be removed. Most tooth extractions take just a few minutes, painless and the procedure is very safe.
