HI HayleyJ,
Glad to be of some help to you! Hope you can get in to see the dentist this week!
You mentioned that your tooth was not extracted under anesthetic or surgery?? Perhaps this needs some clarification as I think you have interpreted this dental treatment as something other than surgery because you were not put to sleep for it. Could that be right?
An extraction of a tooth is definitely oral surgery. Whether or not you were put to sleep, a local anesthetic is always used during extractions and any other type of oral surgery to numb the nerves surrounding the tooth being extracted or the pain would be excruciating. Hope that makes sense to you ~'.'~
Yes, please let us know how you are doing!

I will let you know how I get on!
