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
Either everyone in this thread is very lucky, or I'm very unlucky. 3 extractions done in my life, none were under 20 minutes a tooth, one took over 45 minutes for one single wisdom tooth being extracted, they redid numbing shots twice during the procedure it took so long. I dread the dentist so fucking much now.
