I had all 4 of mine taken out. One of them was half covered with gum and bacteria formed all over it destroying about half the tooth so they had to break it apart in my mouth and pull it out piece by piece.
Luckily I was put to sleep Never had an easier dental operation. For me, pain never really kicked in, but maybe that's because I was taking the pain killers plus smoking a lot of pot when I had gotten home
The most annoying part was in the beginning with a ton of blood and gauze in your mouth, but it wasn't too bad. Some of the things they did while I had braces seemed worse.
Vanilla milk shakes and flexable cold packs on the jawline for the first 48 hours did wonders for me when I had mine out, after that it was smooth sailing!
