Decided to hurt like fuck out of nowhere maybe because it's still growing out, I understand now why babies cry when they are teething, it hurts so bad. Are dentists open during lockdown?

Hun I know some Dr's are av for emergencies. Maybe try calling one near you and explain to them your emergency. Hope this helps

Commiserations.
I've had two removed under general anesthesia at a hospital.
Don't let it be done in the dentist's chair.

What will happen if it gets pulled out at the dentist?

When this happened to me he numbed my gum and root and put a clap thingy in and just pulled it out. Also a contributing factor is how deep the root is. If it's too deep he'll have to surgically remove it if it's shallow he can pull it if you are there.

I stand corrected. But that's what my dentist told me.

I'm a bit of coward. I avoid pain. That is why I had it done under general anesthetic.
It'll be very painful in a dentist's chair even with the localized anesthetic.

LOL I must be made of stone. Once I got injected I felt nothing. The whole side of my face and ear was numb for about 6hrs lol.

Kim think you are still in Highveld.

I think the dentist at Irene Intercare (Southdowns Shopping Centre) is still open.

They are good and I think you can book online.

I've had two wisdom teeth pulled in the chair.

It feels strange but not actually painful. (You feel zero pain but still feel pressure)

Go see them an let them advice what you will need to do.

If it's an infection (Actually simpler to fix) you want to get it fixed as soon as possible.

I've had all four pulled out at the dentist, not on the same day mind you. Top ones are easy I was eating Biltong in a matter of hours, bottom ones can hurt for a few days after but it's not unbearable pain.

Only one hurts which is the last one growing, I didn't have much of an issue with the others.
