Does getting 4 teeth pulled hurt? Hellpp!?

I'm getting 4 grown up teeth pulled out for my braces I'm really scared I've asked my dentist if it hurts she said a little but you get numbed so it wont really hurt but i don't believe her

also I don't feel that I need to get 4 out like that kinda alot, is it? Or is that just fine? Is it normal?

Also is there anything I could do while getting them pulled to not be so anxious?

please help

thanks<3

Update:

Also do you have a high pain tolerance

if you dont did it still hurt?

    A little information on the use of the drug Versed( midazolam) that is used for Sedation for many Dental and Medical procedures...

    I feel that if people were aware of the adverse effects of this drug they would Opt For Another Drug!

    Erasing someones memory of what was done to them is wrong!! I would much rather be put completely out, not just sleepy with memory impairment.

    In fact, many people who use Versed for " IV Sedation,Conscious Sedation" Twilight Sedation, during a procedure are Awake For The Entire Procedure but remember nothing, often Believing They Were "Out" the whole time.

    Versed (Midazolam) is an amnestic. It is also commonly used for minor procedures like setting broken bones,colonoscopies,endoscopies, dental procedures like extractions,conscious sedation,twilight sleep, so that patients won't remember pain and discomfort.HOWEVER THAT DOES NOT MEAN THAT THOSE SENSATIONS WILL NOT BE EXPERIENCED!!!!Forgetting does not mean it did not happen!!

    Here is a note from a Dentist Who uses Versed

    I've used Versed 1000+ times during oral surgery procedures and I've never had a complaint. It's a miracle drug because it is safe and it causes you to not remember an unpleasant experience. My answer to him is isn't it better to have not experienced the pain than to have forgot it. No wonder you have had no complaints they have no memory of the procedure.....

    My wife had her broken bone(Femur)set in the emergency room just before surgery to repair it. They gave her versed and I waited outside of the room and could hear her screaming in pain,they did not appear to be concerned as they told me she would not remember anything and she did not. BUT THAT DOES NOT MEAN THAT IT DID NOT HAPPEN AND THAT SHE DID NOT SUFFER

    A note from an anesthesiologist

    I agree that using midazolam alone in PAINFUL situations is wrong. I've heard people getting colonoscopies and screaming, and maybe they remember, maybe they don't.

    Amnesia does not take place for all patients!!!!!

    Listen carefully when a Doctor tells a patient they should have a colonoscopy they are told you won't remember anything and not you will not feel anything.

    There are blogs about this drug you may find interesting called" Versed Busters" or "No Midazolam" just type it into any search engine.

    DO NOT BE SCARED!!! I literally just got 5 teethe pulled out all on the top just to get my adult ones. After my braces that I had in FOURTH GRADE!!! It's ok. I was scared at first too but you'll be so happy it's done when you leave the dentist. It doesn't hurt and it takes like 30 min. You won't feel a thing. :)

    I got four teeth taken out too last year they used laughing gas on me. Listen to music. Try to relax. It's a bit scary but It won't really hurt that much while its being done. The pain comes later after the drug wears off.

    yeah i kind of not as bad as braces. we have/had the same problem bvut i had to get 5 pulled out over spring break. it is only gonna hurt when the twist the tooth some especially if your teeth roots arew really long. but it is so worth it because in about 2 years you will have all adult teeth and they will be really straight and it will improve your smiling appearance..!!!!!
