How do the dentist pull teeth that are broken off in the gum.what should i do i am scared of the dentist.?

If it%26#039;s broken at the gum because of decay fracture, they quite often don%26#039;t need to cut the gum, or make an incision.


Two weeks ago, I had the procedure done.





Numb your tooth area with the numbing gell


Inject local anesthetic into the area


Wait until it begins to take effect (if it%26#039;s on the lower jaw, you will feel numb along the base of your jaw, and halfway along your lip, depending what side). If it%26#039;s along your top jaw, your dentist will prod the area with a metal instrument, and you should feel no pain at all, after a few minutes. If not numb sufficiently, tell dentist and he/she will inject more local anesthetic.


Genrally if broken at the gum, and if it%26#039;s a molar- the hole is quite large, and large enough for them to use a %26#039;lever%26#039; tool which slides in neatly around the gum and tooth to %26#039;lever%26#039; it out. If the tooth doesn%26#039;t come out easily, after rocking it side to side and twisting it with these special %26#039;lever%26#039; tools, they will attempt to break the tooth into three sections.


They crack the remaining tooth with a special little screwdriver looking thing, (of course you don%26#039;t feel anything as it%26#039;s totally numb!) and once cracked, the tooth usually gives way, as the pressure of having it cracked into three parts allows more room for them to be pulled out by plyer looking things.





You will feel pressure. No pain.


The pressure is just like someone holding their thumb, or something over your tooth.


There%26#039;s nothing that can make the pressure go away, but it%26#039;s fine. Really!





(I was absolutley terrified of going to the dentist, but now i%26#039;ve had 8 dental surgeries in a month, and i%26#039;m totally cool about it now. Don%26#039;t even get nervous!)





Once they get the tooth out, you%26#039;ll be asked to bite on a wad of guaze, and yes it will bleed. If it%26#039;s not a wisdom tooth, they prefer not to stitch the %26#039;socket%26#039; up.


3 of My molars (not wisdom teeth) were removed recently and I didn%26#039;t have stitches.


Genrally, because the hole / socket it quite large for cracked at gum teeth, the blod clot may fall out (gross as it sounds, sorry). This is okay, (if it%26#039;s on the top jaw). The blood flow to the upper jaw is great, and will usually replenish itself in a few minutes.





If you have pain three or so days after the extraction, you might have a condition called %26#039;dry socket%26#039;. This is when the blood clot hasn%26#039;t formed, or has fallen out, and not healed itself. It%26#039;s nothing serious to your health, it just hurts. Call dentist if after 72 hours pain increases.


Once the anesthetic wears off (three hours after extraction, or so) you should have mild pain, nothing too bad. Painkillers should do the trick.


(I didn%26#039;t have to take any after mine, so it%26#039;s okay!)


Please note that dry socket on the upper jaw is very rare, because of the greater blood flow.





Don%26#039;t freak out too much.


I was utterly freaked, before my first one... now, it%26#039;s nothing!


Honestly ,no pain.. no fear.


It%26#039;s great.


If you%26#039;re worried, talk to your dentist.


I suggest getting nitrous oxide (happy gas!)


it helps calm you down.


(i had it the first time ^^)

They cut the gum away with a scalpel so they have enough surface area to clamp their extraction tool on the tooth and then pull it out. You will probably get stitches from this procedure. They will use Novocaine so don%26#039;t worry.
Reply:You%26#039;ll never feel it. Get it done before you get an abscess, which will lead to a cyst.
Reply:You will be numb, no feeling. Minor surgery is the answer, enough to grab the roots for extraction.
Reply:You should go to the dentist and tell him that you%26#039;re scared and he%26#039;ll help you through it.
Reply:If you are scared of the dentist face your fears and you will get over it!!! it is not that bad!! they make sure you feel no pain and they can be really friendly. I would just go in face your fears and let the dentist do what they are trained to do.
Reply:They use a special tool that slips under your gum line and they use it to pry the tooth root up and pop it out.


Don%26#039;t worry, you will be numbed-up so well, you won%26#039;t feel any pain.
Reply:I%26#039;ve recently had a tooth out for the first time and i wasn%26#039;t looking forward to it, and even though my mine was a particularly difficult tooth to get out, because it had an extra long root with a hook on the bottom, i didn%26#039;t feel a thing, your mouth will be totally numb and he will then cut the gum, which i promise you won%26#039;t even feel, in fact you won%26#039;t even know he%26#039;s done it. But when you get home and the anaesthetic wears off it will hurt, so make sure he gives you some antibiotics and you have plenty of pain killers
