I SURVIVED THE EXTRACTION. Based on my true personal experience, extraction is not as scary as i felt it will be. The real pain starts when the metal braces start rubbing it against your tender cheek. That the pain i cant tolerate.
So basically, i went into the room and shown the fear & anxiety to my dentist (Dr Kavita) . She reassured me that everything will be okay. That the reason why i choose her to do braces for me. She's really a nice person to begin with. So i proceed to lie down on the chair and she mentioned that she will do the injection of the outer gum before she proceed with the normal cleaning & scaling, so she went ahead with the 4 jabs. But before she started, she actually applied the numbing gel onto the gum which it really HELPS & works. So people who really are terrified of any form of pain. Please go ahead and ask your dentist to apply.
I tried once without the numbing gel . To compare the pain, it will be like
With gel : 1/5 ( like a small ant bite)
Without gel: 3/5
I had a total of 8 injections previously for cleaning & scaling, like i mentioned, im super scare of pain. so i got no choice but to do numbing anesthetic in order to do the deep cleaning . I was so terrified of dental that i avoided going for so many years . May be close to 7 years? hahaha what a joke. So i had a total of 8 jabs to prepare for the extraction. Before that i told Dr kavita that if i faced any pain during the extraction, i will hold my hand up . She promised that she will stop immediately if i do face any sharp pain. So there she went and started extracting. The top upper two teeths were gone in a breeze. The issue were with the lower 2 teeths. The scary part of extraction is the fear , random thoughts and lastly the sound of the roots breaking during extraction. If you can move past this. Everything will be alright. I had additionally 4 more jabs in order to numb the two lower pre molars as i feel a tiny bit of sharp pain when she tried to extract it. So in total i had 12 injections. Can you imagined it? But by then, im already numb enough, i could no longer feel my lips at all. HAHAHHAA. i felt like a swollen fish. That how i could describe myself. In total, it took her like 30mins to finish the whole extraction procedure.
So after everything was done. The teeth were washed and put into a transparent bag for me to bring it back home.
*GROSS* Sorry ! goodbye teeth.
But the teeth were like quite useless to me , i mean the lower two pre molar cause they were quite out of the biting range for me. So i dont feel pity of it but the upper one were quite important. So after the extraction. Rested for like 5 mins before she go on with the bonding of the brackets. Hehehe there wasnt any pain due to the numbing effect. but the pain came on the 3rd day due to the rubbing of the metal in the mouth. Every pain was tolerable.
But what i would recommend is You definately need dental wax to prevent the rubbing.
So far the payment i have made :
$200 ( xray , mould )
$800 (downpayment )
$274 ( extraction of 4teeths & cleaning ) Blue
-----------------------------------------
Total package quoted : 4500$
The rest will be break down into installment.
