Teeth Pull?

Tomorrow I am getting a baby tooth pulled cus it's stubborn and won't come out. Also getting a wisdom tooth that had a cavity...the filling fell off/out and the nerve is very exposed and has hurt alot. How much if any pain would I feel afterward? specifically to the baby tooth since there isn't much holding it? Also how about the wisdom?

Teeth Pull?
I recently had a lower wisdom tooth pulled. Overall, the experience wasn't terrible. I went to an oral surgeon that was recommended by our family's dentist. I was given nitrous to dull my senses (woah!) then he shot me up with enough novicane to numb a water buffalo. The procedure, from start to finish took about half the time of a cleaning, and I was told afterward that my roots were particularly stubborn. Make sure to keep ice on it for the first day and follow your instructions. Mine was pulled on a friday, and I would have been at work saturday, but the vicodan made me sick. I wound up using OTC advil for pain (my doctor advised me that it was safe to take 800mg at a time-well over what the bottle perscribes). Good luck!

Reply:Well, to me, when a baby tooth is pulled out you can't even feel it with all the numbing, and afterward the gum just feels raw, but no pain. :) I'm not so sure about the wisdom teeth...
Reply:the pain of getting it pulled will be nothing compared to the level it will be if that wisdom tooth decays any further. I had all four of my wisdom teeth out at once and was glad to have it done.
Reply:im not really sure about the baby tooth but if you take out your wisdom teeth you feel pretty tired, sleepy, irritated by the cloth and blood, and it kinda hurts.
Reply:You wont be in much pain with the extraction of the baby tooth,on the other hand,the wisdom,being more "rooted",will require a pain medication.Then,after that heals,you will be pain free and it will become a distant memory. =)
Reply:I was reading the comments from others about wisdom teeth and the pain involved since I have wisdom teeth that need removal. The responses range from no big deal to the worst pain ever! As far as the baby tooth, that should not be much of a problem if it is almost out anyways.
