Very nervous about having a dental extraction
I have to have a back molar pulled the dentist stated it can not be saved. I never had to have a tooth pulled before and I am very nervous and scared about getting the tooth pulled. Mostly I think it the though of getting the inject to numb my mouth up.
Answer: It is really not that bad. The dentist will normally put a topical on the gums to numb them and then give the inject to further numb out your gums so that you do not feel any pain during the extraction. Talk to your dentist a head of time and he or she can take things slowly at your pace.
