can any1 please tell me truthfull if it hurts when you hve teeth pulled out at the dentist and how lng it atkes to do?

When i had a tooth taken out it really hurt,there was a lot of bleeding and the gum felt like jelly for weeks afterwoods,but that was 20 years ago,so things might have moved on.
Good look!

In my experince NO. It's very quick. I would say it took 30secs to pull my wisdom.

I dare say that you'll get some horror stories on here and I suppose that it's different for each of us.

So long as you have plenty of freeze in then there is no reason why it should hurt. :thumbsup:

I've had six teeth pulled out (think someone was on commission) !!
First two were milk teeth and came out easily. Next four were adult teeth - three of them were relatively ok, but the last one was most definitely not - I'd better not go into details :(
But hey, 5 out of 6 came out quite painlessly and were quick to do, so that's good odds I guess.

The actual pulling out only really hurts if the anaesthetic starts to wear off. What I thought was worse was the needles before hand, well, the third one into the roof of my mouth to be precise. But I'm just a wuss when it comes to needles, so probs everyone else is fine.

well they said i could have this injection in my hand but i think they said i wont know much bout it my iam still scared s*** less. do they just pull em? or do they have to losen em?

They rock them from side to side first to loosen them then they pull.

Pulling teeth's nowhere near as painful as reading the grammar, or rather lack thereof, in your posts.. :lol:

so if i rock my tooth from side to side it will come lose?

I've had a couple of teeth pulled over the past 10 years. The only problem I have had is getting them to stop bleeding. Apparantly I've got 'thin blood' so it takes a while to stop.

Can't recall any of them ever being particularly painfull.

Apparantly Ginko Biloba helps to thin the blood, so make sure you don't take any (and be wary of any other supplements) prior to going to the dentist.

Also, it will depend how long the root of the tooth is, and how much bone surrounds it as to how easy (or not) it will be to take out. Don't worry about it - at least you've got a dentist to do it for you. Did you hear about that woman in Scarborough who couldn't get a dentist and had to pull her own tooth out with some pliers !!! :gag:

It really isn't a big deal,it's the fear of not knowing that magnifies in your mind.Like Mo said it feels like a rocking feeling then strangely a pushing sensation, but at the end of the day it has to come out so you just have to get on with it.

its is to me ive had some much stuff go wrong for me, ivee been tube fed and everything

I'm sorry oatescamilla, there's always one that has trouble and it appears to be you, but really, get yourself a decent dentist, mine is great, and you won't have problems. mine believes in preventative treatment,so you shouldn't have problems.Good luck to you anyway.

depends how violent the dentist is really
and if the anastheia works ok

ye i supose which dentist do you have?

pliers

things with two handles that grip things to pull

not sure what pilers are, but pliers are the things you use to grip stuff. Metal jaws, plastic coated handles, squeeze and pull...

You were joking right.

But molegrips might be better, if you were planning to do it yourself (I wouldn't recommend it, you'll probably splinter the tooth and the dentist will have to dig it all out).

iam not going to do it myslef i was messing about

do the old fashioned tie some string to the tooth and the door handle, slam door :)

or throw a safe out of the window tied to your tooth

in my experience i would say no it does not hurt when they are getting pulled, a little uncomfortable but nothing that cants be handled.. the problem is the next day it hurts like hell and is generally swollen and you jaw will feel stiff but painkillers normally ease this enough:thumbsup:

I have a really strong phobia concerning dentists due to a really bad experience as a child - some thirty years ago ;)

Having said that I used the dentist on Langsett Road - Thomsons or something like that and they were fantastic. No pain cos I was unconscious. No problems with after effects from having teeth pulled, as in no swollen mouth or excessive bleeding.

Unfortunately, due to a reaction to anaesthetic I could no longer receive treatment there and went to the Clifford. The students there are fantastic but I could not get it through to anyone that my phobia would result in serious problems if I was aware of what they were doing - ie - if I was conscious. So I stopped going again.

Dentists are generally very caring and understanding people. They know alot of people fear having to go. But they do a brilliant job, and to be honest - the idea of making a living by dealing with peoples dental problems is something I find deserving of respect.

I do not understand my phobia these days as I have not had any problems with dentists in the past 20 years.

Katy1981 and I were talking about pulled teeth a few days back as we've both had several taken out.
I've had 6 taken out, the last two were about 7 years ago.

The last time I had a tooth pulled, well it was funny as the dentist gave me a shot in the gum to put it to sleep (it don't hurt, just taste of blood really) then about a minute later I ask him when he's going to take the tooth out. He replies "Oh it's done you can spit in the bassin and go."

That was the alst time, the time before that, the dentist did the shot thing, then with the pliers gripped the tooth, gently twisted the tooth. You hear a slurp noise and he yanked it off, simple off.

NO PAIN either time ! Pain when a dentist pulls a teeth is soooo overrated ! Honnest, these days it's a piece of p*ss !

It doesnt hurt as such cos they give you an injection to thoroughly numb the area, then all you feel is tugging when they take the tooth out, depending on which tooth it is, I had both wisdom out which were fine apart from the bleeding afterwards and that strange feeling that there is a gaping hole in your mouth but it feels fine after a while, no pain just strange and you want to keep poking your tongue into the hole.

Yeh that's the one, things have gone a long way since they use a tractor/door/baseball bat to pull teeth out ;)

You know you have to stick your tongue in the hole. No matter how much you resist - you are going to do it. The dilemma comes when you have had several teeth out - which hole to probe first. Is that a splinter of tooth they have left in there? Why can't I touch the nerve? Blimey - that hole is a crater that should be visible from the moon.

Teeth - a pain from birth to death, or until you have them all out, and even then - not having them becomes a pain I would imagine.

Ask for a numbing pad before giving you a needle.

Tooth pulling should not hurt one bit.

dentists no longer use a general anasthetic Dragon, I don't think they are actually allowed too, that's probably why they wouldn't put you under. They also don't use gas either, which is a shame cause that stuff was great.

i have had two bottom wisdom teeth removed and, three bottom right molars and one molar from my top left all within 6 months and it doesnt really hurt that much. its not a toothache pain just like bruised feeling and it disapears after a day or two and is manable with pain killers. but it does vary from person to person. but overall i would say no it doesnt hurt.

Which dentist?

Being unconcious is the only way I'll let anybody mess around inside my mouth, and waiting for Charles Cliffords to send an app is like waiting for the second coming.

why wont they put you to sleep at your dentist?

General dentists are not allowed to put you to sleep. There needs to be a gp present and such things as an ecg.

This is probably due to people dying under anaesthetic. Too much of one gas can cause brain damage. Tis all health and safety - again.

Charles Clifford are even reluctant to do this and you usually need a hospital appointment. However, they will give you the indjection that is equivellent to about 10 pints of beer to make you so you do not even know what day of the week it is, and then give you injections in the gum to kill any pain you may feel.

oh isnt that called twi lite or something?

Having had a tooth pulled on New Years Eve in Hull, two teeth pulled back home in Sheffield in March, and yet another emergency extraction whilst on holiday in Caernarfon in June, may I just share a few thoughts on toothache and dentistry........

Some tortures are physical
And some are mental,
But the one that is both
Is dental
~Ogden Nash


A dentist at work in his vocation always looks down in the mouth.
~George D. Prentice


For there was never yet philosopher
That could endure the toothache patiently.
~William Shakespeare, Much Ado About Nothing

I hate dentists!

if my toothache continues like it is i might have to go down to homebase
ouch:loopy:

owww my wisdom tooth really hurts...............

The weird "Phantom tooth" feeling afterwards far outweighs any pain.

Then of course if you have what's called a dry socket after it's been pulled , it can hurt far more than toothache. I've had this happen twice and had to go back every day to have a dressing put in it.

you just like the dentist to put his tool in YOUR mouth (http://thediscerningeye.com/EverydayFaces%20version%201/images/Toothless%20beauty.%20Shangri-la,%20China.jpg) :hihi:

Would agree with comments made already. The pulling of teeth is not the painful part. It's any complications that can arise afterwards that are painful.
Having an upper wisdom tooth remove opened a hole up into my sinus, resulting in a dry socket and sinus infection. This has got to be the worst pain I have ever experiencd. Worse than breaking both arms at the same time. Yes, I managed that once. Ouch!

I hate going to the dentist, but after Ive been I always wonder what I was scared of.
The worst part is the injection, buts thats nothing.
To be relieved of Toothache is the best feeling in the world, you can eat and drink hot and cold food and liquids without pain.
I suffered two years with a nagging tooth before I plucked up courage, but I wish Id gone straight away

it depends who does the pulling ,mad frankie frazer was a
bit handy with the pliers :heyhey:

im not getting my wisdom tooth removed till the 18th can u help me with sum idead how i can get rid of the pain? ive tryed everythin i can think off and i cant get any clove oil anywhere ( i live in essex) so please can you help me:help: :help: :help:

Cut your leg off.

It'll stop the tooth hurting! :hihi:

I think my brothers wisdom teeth have just come through, so I'll ask him and let you know xx

You poor thing, can't they do it any earlier for you.

Have you tried the maximum strength cuprofen or dissolvable codeine and swill it onto the tooth?

If you ring the NHS site they can get you into an emergency dentist

I had one pulled a few years ago. The dentist tugged and pulled to no avail - she had to resort to drilling a hole in the tooth, inserting a tool into it that expanded and broke the tooth into bits, then pull the bits out individually :gag:

I had already had two fillings before she 'pulled' the tooth, so I had been in the dentist chair almost an hour and a half in total.

I felt well subdued and sick when I left the dentist :(

If I had sorted the tooth out when it first needed it, I would not have had it pulled.

Advice: Never put off going to the dentist if you need treatment...... :nod:

If you're scared of dentists, just do what i do - smoke heavily, binge drink a lot and eat McDs/drink fizzy drinks most days.

They'll soon be loose and falling out. ;)

I had to have one out yesterday. It took 2 dentists, 20 minutes and more tools than you get in the average Kwik Fit. Like another poster said, it feels like they are pushing even when you know they are pulling. Why's that I wonder?

Currently experiencing the phenomena... Very strange:D.

I had 2 pulled out a few month back and it doesnt really hurt if you ask for it to be extra numbed, i got really panicky about it and that didnt help so dont panick! but really all they do is numb it stick needle in and then just tug at it untill it comes out you can feel the tugging and it kind of goes through you but there isnt actually any real pain you might have gum ache a couple days after and it take a couple of minutes depending how deep the root is


After they have put the numbing cream on they will probably ask if it feels numb yet just lie so they put more on and then your sure not to feel it lol i did!

It don`t hurt to have teeth pulled because they numb you lips and when they pulled my wisdom teeth they used gas to put me to sleep. It does hurt really bad afterwards though and bleeds. Sadly I had to go have 4 pulled this afternoon and they still bleeding because they were big I guess, I wish they would stop though. How long do yall think they bleed for? I hate the holes when they bleeding, after they stop bleeding though it ain`t that bad. I had to had them pulled to make room for my teeth to move, so they can be straighted, braces too.

I have a really low tolerence of pain, when I've had teeth out I find it's the injection in your gum that hurts the most, when they take the tooth out, its darn uncomfortable but not really painful

I believe the pain of toothache is a lot worse then the possible pain of having a tooth pulled out.
I've had a tooth pulled with no pain & a tooth pulled where it was painful but neither as worse than constant nagging toothache.
If your dentist says it needs to come out, then it does & it will save you years of pain.
