"So are you getting ready to have a tooth extraction and you just don't know what to expect? Well my name is Michelle and I'm a dental assistant with Solutionz and I'm here to explain to you on what you should expect during your tooth extraction. At first when you go see your general dentist of course he is going to get you numb with a local anesthetic in that area so if you have never been numb before what it pretty much fills like is that the area if you have ever had your arm like fall asleep or your leg like fall asleep and it feels like little pins and needles, that is what the numbing feeling sensation will feel like at first and then throughout the procedure you actually become fully numb and then you won't even feel a thing. The only thing that you should feel during a tooth extraction is a lot of pressure. Pressure because the dentist what he needs to do is he is trying to push your gums away from the tooth and then he is actually wiggling the tooth in the socket to create it to become loose so therefore he can go ahead and remove it from your mouth. It is pretty easy when you have a tooth extraction as long as it is a simple extraction and even with surgical extractions they are easy as long as you are numb but you definitely need to expect to feel a lot of pressure and then you might feel a little bit of discomfort but it is not necessarily pain it is just that uneasy pressure discomfort type feeling. So once again my name is Michelle and I'm a dental assistant with Solutionz and I just explained to you on what you should expect during a tooth extraction."
