they make it much harder here. i saw my granpa get two molars pulled in india. the dude yanked em out (after injecting the area)... he walked back to the car.
i didnt use the syringe - just gargled w/ warm salt water a bunch. 3 of mine had completely grown in without any problems, but last year started killing me. dentist yanked them out - got the gas, which was a first for me. like someone said, you can feel them pulling out your teeth and you just dont care. i literally had two people standing over me, violently shaking my head back and forth with blood gushing everywhere as they try to yank this tooth and its massive root out - and im having a blast! its great! i had the 2 left wisdom teeth taken out as well as a filling done. that gas makes it go quick - its was like 2 and a half hours, but seemed like 30 or 45 minutes. my dentist is semi-holistic (doesnt use mercury-based fillings, ect), but her office has this cool egyptian decor and the operating area had all these crystals hanging from the ceiling, dali and escher posters and a nice window view into a sunny courtyard. very pleasant. i had a ride home arranged, but i actually walked home, bleeding the whole 3 or so miles back to my house. i had been in such pain in the couple weeks leading up to the removal that the instant they were out i felt so much better. felt really good for about 2 hours, than puked and crashed out for about 3 days. i wasnt in pain at all from the surgery, and in fact didnt take any of my painkillers (saved those for later ), but i was really sick and just felt like i had been hit by a truck. just layed in bed the whole time watching movies. i couldnt eat anything but soup and i felt like death, but at least my demon teeth were out.
