It's more pleasant than a root canal, but less than a check-up. How's that?

One. It hurts like <strong>fuck</strong>. Now stop being such a wuss about it. Dose yourself on enough ibruprofen afterwards, and you'll not notice a thing until you scrape a toothbrush over the wound. :-)

Wasn't particularly comfortable but wasn't painful. Hope it goes well for you, good bye devil tooth. Pete Hey Claire,

Are you keeping the Devil Tooth? Will you have it made into a pendant? Will Dan wear it?

To be honest it's not plesant but it's nothing to be worried about. Judging from the location of the tooth your face will probably be numb for quite a while afterwards which means your have the fun of uncontrollable drooling so by a bib. The local going in will probably be more painful than the extraction unless they're gassing you which I didn't have done but am informed it's much fun. I wouldn't plan on eating anything that day or doing much else (I think I slept mostly, just think of it as a hangover with none of the good points). Anyway will be fine.

I had an injection and had two removed, then two removed the next week. It was okay, except for hours afterwards I basically ate cotten wool cause there was a fair bit of blood, yuck. Didn't really hurt, it just ached a lot, I took a bit of ibubrofen (sp?) and ate soup for the day, and all was fine! I’ve had four removed (I have too many teeth, or something).

It's your devil tooth, not property of the dentist so you should be able to keep it, just make sure you ask beforehand if you can have it back. I've never had any teeth out *touch wood* so far. I had an evil dentist who wanted to take out a tooth that was causing no problems, she said because the molar on the bottom jaw hadn't grown the top one would eventually cut into the gum. I refused to let her because in my opinion 'if it isn't broke then don't fix it' and then she hurt me so I never went back to her. She claimed it would start causing problems, that was about 4 years ago... Dentists are evil. I wouldn't let anyone take a tooth without anaesthetic though. I find the anaesthetic doesn't work so well on me, not sure why, my dad is the same and I usually end up having to have a second injection. Scream if you can feel anything!

The most alarming thing I found when having teeth pulled is the noise it makes. Kind of a loud creaking snapping sound. But it doesn't hurt at all. And afterwards you can let people punch you in the mouth and you won't feel a thing. Doesn't make the same kind of noise though. You’ll be fine with the local anaesthetic.
