If I have a gum infection under my molar do you think dentist will pull it out because scared of needles?
It is unlikely that a dentist would pull out a molar simply because you are afraid of needles. There are other options available to treat gum infection, including antibiotics, scaling and root planing, or periodontal surgery.If the gum infection is severe and may require a tooth extraction, your dentist will discuss this with you and explore all alternative options. They may also recommend sedation dentistry to help you relax during the procedure.
