How does a dentist extract a molar tooth?!


Question: what is the procedure


Answers: what is the procedure

First the dentist makes sure there are no problems with your medical history. Then the area of the mouth where the tooth is located is made numb with numbing gel (optional) followed by a local anesthetic (Lidocaine/articane) which non-dentists call "novacaine" or "getting a shot". As soon as the tooth is numb, the dentist uses what is called a periosteal elevator to separate the gum from the tooth. We then use a straight elevator to separate some of the tooth fibers from the bone. As soon as those fibers are loosened and the tooth begins to move, we use forceps (look like pliers) to grab a hold of the tooth and with some manipulation,the tooth comes out. Sometimes, the tooth might break and we need to use a handpiece (drill) to separate the tooth and bring it out in fragments.
The dentist then squirts some sterile saline (salt water) in the space and you bite on some gauze to help stop the bleeding.

Well first of all he has to persuade someone to sit very still in a chair with their mouth wide open.

The real trick is learning to be so persuasive that you get people to pay you to do it to them.

Injection on either side of the tooth, so on the inside of the gum and thte outside of the gum. Wait for it to numb and then he just gets his other equipment and twists it round to pull it out. It doesn't hurt the slightest but the injection makes you cringe and your eyes water.

Very painfully!
