Apparently getting needles at the dentist really doesnt hurt at all! If your getting teeth pulled they will most likely give you an injection in your gum. Yes, it looks like you would be in alot of pain or its sounds like you would be in lots pain but no that much! On a scale from 1 to ten it would most likely occur as 7. Seven is not that bad. When you get the needles STAY CALM!!Trust me! It will feel like a pinch.The pinch pain lasts five seconds. If you don't get the numbing gel on your gum where the needle will be placed, it will hurt and the scale would be 2 from 1 to 10. So if you're not sure of getting that gel just ask your dentist. And the pain only feels like a long nail(finger nail) that's a bit sharp touching and digging into your gum for 1 second. I've been through it so I know! BUT STAY CALM! OKAY!? That's more important. Oh and ask for the happy gas! It so helps more too! For that scale it would turn out as 5. So stay calm.!
P.S. The numbing gell will leave a nasty taste in your mouth for a while. It should be near gone by the end of the day (You'll taste it sometimes if you burp.) I would know, I just got it done.

∙ 16y agoMost dental injections today should not hurt very much at all.
Over the past several years, dentistry has developed much better techniques and technologies for administering local anesthetics. If your dentist has graduated from dental school within the last 25 years, he/she should be familiar and fluent in the use of these 'atraumatic' methods of injections. If not, perhaps you might want to find a new dentist.
Seriously, when done properly, most injections are more painful in the mind of the patient than in their mouth.

∙ 12y agoNo, it's fine. If they are going to do anything painful they will numb your mouth.
