  • I have a back molar out today...i was dreading having it done.

    The injection was painless and the procedure was stupidly easy. Lots of pressure and disturbing cracking noises but it was perfectly ok.

    NO pain what so ever.

    :)

  • you can also feel the taste of blood

  • I did this and I did not notice it was even out yet! Either my dentist are ninjas or it was really like that

  • Does this happen to every one pls answer

  • I had my upper right wisdom tooth removed less than 24 hours ago and it was so quick and painless I couldn't believe it. The tooth was in normal position but had developed a cavity that couldn't be filled and had to be extracted. The dentist had it out in about 60 seconds, there was zero pain (and trust me I'm a baby when it comes to pain - low tolerance) and there is almost no pain today. So never fear. The worst part is the fear because the reality is that it won't hurt like you think.

  • Glad you had no problem with your extraction. I too had a back molar removed yesterday, but unfortunately it was so stubborn it took the dentist an hour and 15 minutes of tucking, hacking and cutting to get it out and then it was a root at a time. I'm not normally nervous of the dentist but by the end of this is so soaked through with sweat and shaking like a leaf. Oh and my jaw aches likes hell today.

  • im having my wisdom teeth removed tomorrow...so this was quite informative. no worries, im going to good ppl and this is quite a standard procedure

  • @MelodeexD i got my tooth pulled last year when i was twelve- i actually had to ask them if they took it out lol it doesn't hurt at all
