Does corrective tooth extraction hurt?

Doctor's answer (1)
Dr. Guo Huijie
Corrective tooth extraction is usually painless during the procedure. Prior to extraction, the dentist administers a local anesthetic to numb the tooth and surrounding tissues, minimizing discomfort. During the extraction, specialized instruments and techniques are used to further reduce pain and discomfort. Once the anesthesia takes effect, patients typically do not feel any pain during the procedure. However, after the anesthesia wears off, some patients may experience mild pain or discomfort, which is usually temporary and can be relieved with appropriate treatment and medication prescribed by the dentist.
