I worked in dental offices for 30 plus years and when the tooth is that far gone there is nothing to hang on to so they pry it from one side and then the other. Sometimes the tooth is cut in half and then pryed out. They will do it the easiest way for you and for them. They will not let you feel pain., That is also why you are on antibiotics, to get rid of any infection so the anesthetic will work properly. An oral surgeon is a specialist in extraction only, so they know what they are doing. If you believe in prayer pray for peace within you and for the dentist, that his hands will be guided. If you have any more questions I will be happy to help. Bless you and God be with you. Blossom25
