This is a place to share greentexts and witness the confounding life of Anon. If you're new to the Greentext community, think of it as a sort of zoo with Anon as the main attraction.

Be warned:

If you find yourself getting angry (or god forbid, agreeing) with something Anon has said, you might be doing it wrong.

painful and time consuming

When I had one of mine removed it was the quickest dentist visit I had. They exposed the tooth, drilled into it, hit it with a wedge and collected the pieces. It probably took less than 10 minutes including the time for local anesthesia to take effect and didn't really hurt

Damn that’s fast. I saw an animation of that on YouTube once (a long time ago), it was strangely satisfying to watch

That was my experience too. At first I was kind of disappointed I didn't get the funny drugs but a double extraction took literally ~10 min, and I drove myself home right after.

Everyone I know who went full sedation it would be like a 3-5 hour experience before you come to. Alot of hassle
