Hello, I have a tooth to be extracted, but surgically because it is placed low on the gum. I am afraid of this. Please tell me what it looks like. Thank you. Kika from Silesia

You should not be afraid of the procedure. Please trust your dentist. You will receive anesthesia and nothing will hurt. Sometimes the gum is cut during the extraction, but you shouldn't be afraid of that either. However, it is difficult for me to say exactly what the procedure will look like in your case. I wish you courage!

Remember that our expert's answer is informative and will not replace a visit to the doctor.
