Your tooth hurts because the adult tooth is trying to push it out of the way. Getting it pulled out will relieve that pressure, and the pain should quickly go away.





A baby tooth has a much smaller root than a permanent tooth, so it should pop out quite easily. You won't feel any pain because the area will be frozen. Some dentists have the silly idea that a baby tooth it doesn't need freezing. As the patient, you have the right to insist that it be well frozen before your dentist starts any work.





Your dentist can rub a tiny bit of topical anesthetic gel onto the gum, to numb it a little before injecting the Novocaine. It helps, but you may still feel a little pain when the needle goes in. But this will be the only pain you'll feel.





Your dentist will use small pliers to grip the tooth, in order to work it loose from the bone. You'll feel a bit of pressure, as the dentist rocks %26amp; twists the tooth, and you'll hear some cracking. It sounds really freaky, but it's just noise. Listening to music on an MP3 player, %26amp; closing your eyes will help take your mind off it.





Afterwards, your dentist will have you bite down on gauze, to stop the bleeding. You should take a couple of ibuprofen (Advil, Motrin, or generic) before you leave the dentist's office. That way, it'll already be working when the freezing wears off. Ibuprofen is the best painkiller for dental pain, because it reduces the swelling, and that swelling is what causes the pain---though since it's only a baby eye tooth, it shouldn't be too bad. If you need to, take another ibuprofen every few hours, to keep on top of the pain. You should also use an ice pack on your cheek, and eat smooth ice cream, to reduce the swelling.





Any pain %26amp; swelling will reach their peak on the 3rd day, and will gradually decrease after that. During the first few days, eat only soft foods that are cold, cool, or warm. Avoid hard or hot foods, since your mouth will be very tender, and you don't want to carve it up or burn it.





Do not smoke, spit, or use a straw until at least the 4th day. If you do, you'll create suction, which could suck the clot out of the extraction site, and greatly impair the healing process.





For the next week or so, don't work out or exert yourself. If you do, you'll increase blood flow, which will add to the swelling.





Getting that tooth out should be very quick and easy. If you have any questions or concerns, discuss them with your dentist before he starts. And don't forget to bring your MP3 player. It really does help!Tooth extraction, really scared help please! Any advice ot experiences or anything?
The needle for the anesthesia is probably the worst part, and it doesn't really hurt that much. It's a trade off - you have to endure a quick, stabbing pain so that you can get rid of a sore, throbbing pain.





Your dentist should walk you through the procedure as he or she is doing it. Once you're under anaesthetic, you literally won't feel a thing, probably for the rest of the day and night. When you wake up the next morning, you might find that the area is sore, but over time it will start to feel better and better every day until there's no more pain. And that will be worth it.
pulling out baby tooth does not pain at all and there is no discomfort afterwards. the only pain you feel is the prick of the needle. for more informatin on children dentistry you can visit the following link

I have had four wisdom teeth removed and it is simple and they usually put you to sleep for this work to be done if you ask them to they will for sure my mother is a pediatric dentist and i have experience myself you will feel fine during and after
The worst part will prob. be the needle to kill the pain once its numb you shouldn't feel anything. Although the sound can make some people a little stressed. and it might bleed for a short time
It will NOT hurt while they pull it. you will be sore afterwards. but u will be given pain meds afterwards.
