Hi all. I have to have just roots of a tooth extracted and am in a panic.
How bad is it?

@dental hospial, they weigh you to see how much they can safely give you..and monitor you constantly with gas/air ... you will be ok just don't exert yourself after for couple of days and take pain relief as necessary..good luck
