Is tooth extraction painful?

We understand that people will be concerned about having a tooth out, but we can get the area completely numb and test around the area beforehand to make sure that you're happy.

 

What you will feel is that there's a little bit of pressure while we're taking the tooth out and also if we need to remove it surgically, you'll feel a little bit of water and a little bit of vibration, similar to having a filling.

 

In terms of managing any pain or discomfort, we prefer you to take some pain relief beforehand which really helps and also follow our post-operative instructions that really help the area heal well afterwards.
