Recently I made the decision to have a tooth extracted. My choices were limited: pull it or root canal. After pretty extensive research I chose to have it pulled. I also decided against the bone graft for personal reasons. Today was the day! I am so glad I opted for nitrous oxide because everything was much more tolerable. I'm lucky to have a great, caring and funny dentist who has an amazing staff. I haven't been a "snaggle tooth" since I was a young one. It is what it is. I'm just glad it's over. Anyone else had a tooth extracted? How did that go for you?

I didn't but my mom just went through it. She said it hasn't been hurting too much.

So far I'm doing pretty good. I had my wisdom teeth out in my 20's and developed dry socket. It was horrid.
