My guess is that\u00a0this also cause the molar next to it to be affected, hence the reason why I had to get the tooth extracted. But for some reason after 3 anesthetic injections I could still feel some pain. The process of removing the tooth was straight forward but I could still feel some light pain when the dentist was pulling the tooth.<br \/>\nHere&#8217;s a picture of the molar (you will notice the silver filling) &#8211; yes looks a bit gross but thought I&#8217;d post it anyways:<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/cdn.businesslegions.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/01\/Molar-Tooth-with-filling.png?strip=all&w=2560\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-3040\" src=\"https:\/\/cdn.businesslegions.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/01\/Molar-Tooth-with-filling.png?strip=all\" alt=\"Molar Tooth with filling\" width=\"425\" height=\"279\" srcset=\"https:\/\/cdn.businesslegions.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/01\/Molar-Tooth-with-filling.png?strip=all 425w, https:\/\/cdn.businesslegions.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/01\/Molar-Tooth-with-filling-300x197.png?strip=all 300w, https:\/\/cdn.businesslegions.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/01\/Molar-Tooth-with-filling.png?strip=all&amp;w=85 85w, https:\/\/cdn.businesslegions.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/01\/Molar-Tooth-with-filling.png?strip=all&amp;w=170 170w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 425px) 100vw, 425px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>And here&#8217;s a video of the magnified molar.<\/p>\n<p><iframe loading=\"lazy\" src=\"\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/Rs8vYglGTbA\" width=\"420\" height=\"315\" frameborder=\"0\" allowfullscreen=\"allowfullscreen\"><\/iframe><\/p><!--CusAds0-->\n<p>After half an hour the tooth was extracted I could feel the pain. Not sure how long the anesthetics normally lasted but it damn hurt. I had to take Panadeine Forte to ease the pain. I was out of it for the next 2 days. As I write this post, 4 days after the tooth extraction I feel so much better. The area where the tooth was extracted is a bit sore and I can feel the clot has formed and is in the recovery phase.<\/p>\n[colorbox title=&#8221;TIPS&#8221; color=&#8221;#333333&#8243;]\n<p>Drink plenty of water<\/p>\n<p>When using the gauze to stop the bleeding make sure you bite and put pressure on the wound.
