A member asked:
My friend is 18yrs old nd the dentist told her that she needs to get one of her tooth extracted due to toothdecay..will it be painful?..
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Probably not: Any dentist will use a topical numbing agent before injection of another numbing agent. While the recovery pain may be great, the actual procedure should be relatively painless.
