The Shot
This is the part that most people don’t like to experience. It’s time to numb up the tooth and jawbones and gums around it. The only way to do it is by injecting lidocane into the area.
Curiously, the pain people feel when they get shots depends on where they receive it. If the shot is done on a loose tissue, then it won’t hurt as much. The pain usually comes from the liquid forcibly making space in a dense or tight location (in this case it’s the gums).
Lastly, don’t give your orthodontist a hard time. The faster it’s done, the quicker your tooth is pulled out. Another reason is to allow the orthodontist to focus solely in doing dental injection—if he or she makes a mistake, a new shot will need to be done.
