Extracting a tooth leaves you without the damaged nerves.

My wife had a bad tooth removed about a year ago. It had rotted the jaw bone to the point that she needed 3 graft sections just to provide enough jaw bone for an implant to be set. She just got the final crown on the implant this morning.

She had quite a bit of work done when the tooth was pulled to clean out the decomposing bone. The dentist gave her a script for Norco but she never filled it. She did not experience much pain afterwards. The discomfort was the gum tissue that was traumatized and swollen.

You should be fine. Just plan on taking it easy the next few days. You body will be traumatized just from the intrusion.

Your brain's reaction can not be predicted. Your anxiety's effect on your brain can be predicted. So, don't get wrapped up in worry.

Consider this a positive step forward.

My best to you.
