Our teeth plays important part of our life that's why it need a lot of care, but once its taken for granted, expect the worst pain ever. I hate the pain of having a toothache. but why is everyone afraid of having extraction, even men,young and old alike. thank you.

Your correct, our teeth is very important, since we need it in chewing our food. A lot of care is needed to preserve it, especially our smile. I cant imagine smiling without my teeth. Have a nice day.

well... because it's painful. even though there's anesthesia during the extraction you still feel the pain when it wears of. so yes, i am also afraid of tooth extractions.

I think almost everyone is afraid of dentist. Sounds funny, but I knew few men who doesn't like to visit a dentist I am not afraid to have my tooth extracted- I have it done 3 times already.
