California Dental Insurance – Does it hurt to have your teeth pulled?
Question: I must have four teeth pulled before I can have braces. I never had my teeth pulled out or any significant dental treatment. Does it hurt?
Answer: Pain depends on the person. However, if you are not under anesthesia during the dental process of pulling your teeth, the dentist will typically numb out your mouth enough so you do not feel any pain. If you feel any pain, you only need to let the dentist know so they can numb that area more. You may have some pain after the process is done. The dentist may prescribe something for the pain if necessary, or you can generally take an over-the-counter product such as Advil or Alive.
