Still in a dilemma about braces.

Know what really scares me about extraction?



The moment you see your extracted tooth and you go "WTF my tooth got so big one ar?"
And also knowing the fact that permanent teeth goes all the way into the roots of our gums and then being yanked out just like that.



Typically the tooth is lifted using an elevator, and using dental forceps, rocked back and forth until the Periodontal ligament has been sufficiently broken and the supporting alveolar bone has been adequately widened to make the tooth loose enough to remove. Typically, when teeth are removed with forceps, slow, steady pressure is applied with controlled force.

Taken from wikipedia.



Now thats what I'd call a pool of blood.
And the strange and disgusting feeling you get when you fiddle that hole with your tongue.
