Hey. If you haven’t read my previous thread then you might want to read that first to know the background about the tooth and me ranting about stuff.

I’m finally getting the badly decayed tooth out. I have a few questions though

1. Will my tooth be easier to extract?
2. How long will the extraction take approximately?
3. How much pain will I feel during the procedure?

Thank you so much. If you could tell me about your experience getting a decayed below gum line tooth extracted, that would be much appreciated.

I won’t be sedated.

Here’s a picture of an example of how the molar looks like except mine has extremely black gums underneath the tooth and the tooth perimeter is slightly more cracked

This seems to be a popular topic lately. Not a dentist but there are some resources below.

1. Will my tooth be easier to extract? (see link below)
2. How long will the extraction take approximately?

3. How much pain will I feel during the procedure?
None once you are numb. Sometimes people report feeling some light pressure. Below is a guide for things to do (or not do) after the procedure to help with the healing process.
