I was on the dentist chair for ten minutes. Numb sauce, little yank, repeat don't spit 20 times, and I was out the door. |

Yeah, it sucked. Haven't been back to the tooth-man since. Totally scarred me psychologically. Don't ask how long ago it was...

| | no really, smokemeth&hailsatan | | Join Date: Dec 2005 Location: Pueblo, CO | | Our dentist is acctually one of the nicest people I have ever met, and we have been going there for a while now. He even did my front tooth implant. So going there is never a problem, and I'll sit there and chat for a while before, during, and after the appointment. I hate to say it, but a good dentist should not hurt or make you uncomfortable.
Plus they like teasing me and vice versa, especially when I'm on pain drugs.  |

I had a tooth removed last year (not a wisdom tooth) and I just remember the dentist doing a little picking and then sort of lifting it out. All of 10 minutes!

All he did was numb it, poke it and ask me if I was alright, numb it some more, and gently pull it right out. |

Good times.

|  | On the TB leaderboard for low talent/gear ratios! | | Join Date: Jun 2000 Location: NJ | | I had all four taken out when I was about 25 or 26 but luckily they had to knock me out. They had to dislocate my jaw and cut bone away during the extraction in order to get them out. No way they could have done that with me awake.
I was pretty lucky. I was mighty sore for quite a while but at least I had minimal swelling and no bruising. I've seen people who looked like they were beaten with a baseball bat after the surgery.
However, I *do* know what it's like to have a tooth extracted with just Novocaine. None, and I literally mean NONE, of my primary teeth fell out on their own. I had to have every one of those damn things pulled by my dentist and they all came out with full roots. He let them go as long as he could but when they would start interfering with my permanent teeth coming in he had to pull them. Come to think of it, I also had two permanent teeth pulled in order to make room so I wouldn't need braces. Turned out to be a temporary fix though. I wore braces for about 18 months when I was 37-38.
Yeah, I love dentists!

I've been back to the dentist since then, though. Because I'm not from the South.

Yeah, they did that to 3 of mine...interesting experience, which I never wish to experience again.

Seriously though, yanking has never been a standard procedure for extracting a tooth.

I was on liquid food until Sunday or so. It sucked/sucks really bad in my case. He broke the 2 bottom one to get them out wasn't especially a nice sound, quite scary actually.
edit: He had to cut to get to the tooth for the 4.

I had to have maxillo-facial surgery, and with a couple of injections I was numb to my eyeballs, but going unconscious seems pretty useless. Especially considering that the dentist/surgeon will have to pull against your head.
