well I DID it !!! got a tooth pulled today and didnt run out of the office .. I thought the Dentist took forever to pull the tooth... I was about to ask him 'do you know what your doing'?

Should it take 10 minutes to pull a tooth?

I have many experiences with extractions over the course of my life (running oout of teeth) :(

I dont remember it ever taking this long!:redface::redface:

I think this extraction was not good... but its over with and I survived.. :mad:
 
It Took Ages for my Tooth to come out in bits Yesterday.

Hi,
Yes, extractions might last long (even longer than 10 minutes). It is not just about applying much force and pulling a tooth out. Actually, the less strength the dentist uses, the less damage to the tissue and easier healing.
 
Thanks. I still have soreness where I had my Tooth out Yesterday.

OK. It should get better over the next few days, meaning that the place is healing.
 
Yes GP gave me Amxocillin.

I had a couple that took longer....but the healing was much better than when I'd had a really brutal extraction before.

Congratulations!! It's such a great feeling
 
Thanks.
