https://www.elkgrovevillagedentist.com/general-dentistry/tooth-extractions/ – At the time of extraction, the doctor will need to numb your tooth, jawbone, and gums that surround the area with a local anesthetic. You feel the pressure without pain as the anesthetic has numbed the nerves stopping the transference of pain, yet the nerves that transmit pressure are not profoundly affected. If you do feel pain at any time during the extraction please let us know right away. For more information visit Schumer Family Dental Care.
