if you get a shot in your mouth to numb the pain then you should be okay...Well - they deaden it - and if it's a baby tooth, it might not have a root on it anymore. Might be absolutely nothing!No, it won't hurt. They will deaden the area with a needle of Novocaine. The needle hardly hurts. It just pinches for about a second or two and then your gum will go numb. After your tooth is pulled and the novocaine wears off, your gums will feel a little sore for two or three days, so it's best to eat soft foods during those days. by Kate Member since:September 02, 2010Total points:4,187 (Level 4)yes it can hurt but they will give you a pain killing injection to ensure you don't feel it. by Tofer Member since:August 09, 2010Total points:595 (Level 2)As it is a baby tooth they would not put a bracket on it anyway because well the tooth could get loose and fall out and well then the bracket is cemented on the tooth and yeah.
Getting your teeth pulled out doesn't really hurt
The root dies after time thus, depending how old you are, the root might be a stub
First you get into the office they scrape at it a little(doesn't hurt at all)
Then they inject you with a needle to numb you (Its a quick shot that feels like a normal shot 1-2-3 pains gone) then you cant feel any pain anymore they scrape the tooth and it comes right out.
Depending on how long the root is when the numbness wears off you might fell discomfort but not pain if the roots short the numbness will go away you wont feel a thing

I had tooth (one right next to the very front teeth) filled on the back side, 8 or 9 years back. it was a VERY tiny bit of decay then. For about 2-3 months after having that filling, i had some sensitivity in tooth, mostly to cold air, and very cold water, or beverage. It then stopped, and had no problems with pain since. About a month ago , i noticed some more small areas of what looked like decay to me , on the same tooth. (i have VERY GOOD oral hygene, just for the record, so dont judge me!) So i went back to the dentist (a different one, due to insurance reasons, and because my sister reccomended her.) At the dentist office they did xrays, and examined all my teeth, and was told i needed to get more fillings. (and a wisdom tooth removed, ugh!) I have a appointment next week to have all this done. However, since i went in for the exam and xrays, that same tooth has became extremely sensitive again, and im wondering if this is just due to all the poking/prodding/and scraping or what not, that she did during the exam. and if it was anything else, (like HOPEFULLY NOT needing a root canal!) shouldnt she had realized from at least viewing the xrays, if not from the exam?

Sorry if im coming off alittle over anxious,....like i said the appt.'s next week. and me + dentist = alittle anxiety!

Thanks!

What happened to my tooth?

1. It's like my filling got like pushed deeper into my tooth.
2. It doesn't hurt
3. On the side of the deeper part, it's like my tooth got chipped.
4. It's not black/brown. Just the regular color. (the chip and the filling thingy is normal in color)
5. It isn't sensitive

Do you know what this is? And what is the general cost of it? (average cost)

I don't have my next dental appointment until like 3 months from now. And the insurance won't pay for any of it if i schedule one. How do i keep it from getting worse. Both the filling deeper thingy and cavities?

Thanks in advance!!!

Home >All Categories > Health >Dental >Open Question Morgan Member since:December 23, 2010Total points:91 (Level 1)I have had my braces on for about two years now and I just got rubber bands. They were fine but I just went on Monday and I have to wear THREE rubber bands now and they clamp down my teeth to where I can barely open my mouth. It hurts so bad so what can help me relieve the pain? I have tried ibuprofen and a heating pad but those won't really work. I know you probably don't think it hurts that bad but if you only knew how bad it really does! On a scale of one to ten I would say it hurts by ten! I know it will go away in a few days but I can barely sit through my classes throughout the school day, it's even hard for me to talk. Please help!Answer Question

by selwood2... Member since:November 07, 2007Total points:144 (Level 1)try taking a different painkiller in addition to ibuprofen. the pain will go in a few days, hang in there, else go back to the orthodontist
