What happenes when you have a baby tooth taken out at the dentist and does it hurt also how big is injection in your mouth please help?

When you have a baby tooth taken out at the dentist, it is typically done with a simple procedure called an extraction. An extraction involves the dentist using a local anesthetic to numb the area around the tooth, and then using dental tools to gently loosen and remove the tooth. Most baby teeth are not deeply rooted in the gums and come out easily, especially when the dentist uses the proper tools.

During the procedure, you may feel some pressure and discomfort, but it should be minimal due to the anesthetic. The injection used to numb the area is usually very small, just enough to numb the gum and surrounding tissue near the tooth. The dentist will carefully insert the needle into the gum and inject the anesthetic. The injection may sting slightly, but it shouldn't be painful.

Once the area is numb, the dentist will use a special instrument called an elevator to gently loosen the tooth from the gums. Then, they will use dental forceps to grasp and carefully wiggle the tooth until it comes out. In some cases, the dentist may need to use a drill to remove any remaining roots or pieces of the tooth.

After the tooth is removed, the dentist will clean the area and may place a small piece of gauze or dental wax over the extraction site to help stop any bleeding. You may be given instructions on how to care for the extraction site and manage any discomfort or swelling that may occur.

Overall, the procedure of having a baby tooth taken out at the dentist is usually quick and well-tolerated by most children. It is important to follow your dentist's instructions and take any prescribed medications or pain relievers to help manage any discomfort or swelling.
