today i went to the dentist and they said that i had to get it pulled. so tomorrow i am getting it pulled at 11:30 A.M. i have gotten a tooth pulled before but that was when i was 7 and it was loose but it didn't hurt and i had novicane then. this time i have novicane but this tooth is nnot loose. please can i have some advice. thx

Hey,

Well it's not that it hurts, what you will feel is a pulling type sensation. It's weird but not painful. Make sure that if you do feel any pain you tell the dentist because that means you need more novocaine.

Also after you have your tooth pulled whatever you do DON'T DRINK OUT OF A STRAW!!! This could and usually does cause dry socket which is really painful. Follow all the directions your dentist gives you especially the one about swishing warm salty water in your mouth.


Good luck.
