Accurately, not reassuringly
Same pressure and creaking as a simple removal, plus a section where we use a drill to divide the tooth so it comes out in pieces rather than forcing the whole thing. That is the noisiest part. You get stitches — you will feel the tug of the needle but not the point — and they dissolve in about ten days. Expect swelling that peaks on day two and looks worse than it feels, and take the painkillers before the numbness wears off rather than after.
The stop signal
Raise your left hand and we stop — then, not at a convenient moment. If something feels sharp during treatment it almost always means the anaesthetic needs topping up, which takes two minutes and is completely ordinary. Saying so is not a nuisance and it is not being difficult.
Nervous about the dentist?
Turn this on and we will explain everything — what each treatment actually feels like, what the noises are, and how to make us stop. It stays on as you move around the site.
