Removing a tooth is sometimes necessary to treat pain and preserve the health of your mouth.
Before the procedure, the dentist may offer nitrous oxide gas to relax you. The dentist will then numb the area in order for you to feel more comfortable.
After a while, the dentist will check the area to make sure that is completely numbed.
During the procedure you will feel some pressure when the tooth is removed, but you shouldn’t feel any pain at all.
If you do feel pain, the dentist will stop and he or she will give you more anesthetic.
The dentist will start by loosening the tooth and then remove it from its socket.
Depending on the situation, is sometimes helpful to cut the tooth into sections before removal.
Having a tooth extracted is sometimes the best treatment choice and with modern dental techniques, it should be a comfortable procedure for you.
