How bad is it having a tooth removed?

[QuebecBagnet]

I think the dentists are going to offer this tomorrow, it’s been mooted before. They’ve done a deep filling, it hasn’t worked, they can’t fill anymore. No idea why a crown, etc isn’t an option but they said next step removal. Big, upper molar. I can’t eat on that side and it aches all the time.

when they filled it the local didn’t work till afterwards even though they gave me three shots. Once I was walking out my whole face was nicely numb but while they did it I could feel it. Which was bad enough but not sure I can stand being able to feel having a tooth out. If I ask to have it done at the hospital with sedation will they refer me?

Never had a molar out but had my wisdom tooth out a couple of weeks ago. Took about 10 minutes for the injections to work and a few seconds to pull the tooth loose. Only took painkillers for the rest of that day, I had it out around 9.15am, no pain after thankfully.

Thanks, will take painkillers before going in. I actually think I might faint if there’s crunching. I nearly fainted last time with the filling, I hold my breath and just forget to breath and then go dizzy and pale.
