Help docs! would it hurt worse to get a bottom or top tooth pulled?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Bottom is worse: The fact is that after a tooth is extracted, the uppers have far less post surgical pain and complications. And they are usually easier to remove due to histological structure. You should feel no pain from either during the extractions and make sure you follow directions given by your dentist for fast healing. Take care.
