You cannot and should not pull your own tooth with pliers as it can cause infection and severe bleeding and it will also be very painful.

A dentist should always be the one who pulls a tooth out.

You can eat 3 hours after a tooth extraction but not before 3 hours as it can disturb the surgical site and delay healing.

A simple tooth extraction is not painful at all as you will be numbed before the tooth is extracted.

However you might feel some slight discomfort during the tooth extraction but it should be painless.

A tooth extraction costs between $130.00 to $250.00 depending on the dentist and if any complications result.

Impacted tooth extractions can cost more and cost anywhere from $1,000.00 to $3,000.00

A tooth extraction is a dental procedure during which your tooth is completely removed from its socket.

If you have health insurance and the tooth extraction is medically necessary then your health insurance may pay for the tooth extraction.

The recovery time to recover from a tooth extraction depends on the complexity of your tooth extraction.  

However, most people feel back to normal in just a few days after the tooth extraction.
 
While you'll be able to return to routine activities within 48 to 72 hours, it usually takes the jawbone several weeks to heal completely.

A tooth extraction is not very painful although you may feel some slight discomfort.

Impacted wisdom teeth are the most painful teeth to extract.

Impacted wisdom teeth are wisdom teeth that have failed to erupt properly.

They are generally considered to be the most difficult teeth to extract.

The higher the degree of impaction, the more difficult the extraction.

However, experienced oral surgeons can perform this procedure efficiently and comfortably.

After a tooth extraction you should avoid hot or warm foods immediately after the tooth extraction.

Also, it's best if you don't eat anything for at least an hour after the extraction.

You only need to consume soft foods and liquids 24 hours after the procedure.

Eat only easy-to-chew foods and gradually ease into your regular diet.
