Had mine out when I was 25 - Oral Surgen route. No problem just woke up and it was over... Took about 2-3 weeks to heal.

I just had my lower left central incissor out (I'm now 38)under local. Man I was TERIFFIED!! The thought of having somone rip out one of my front teeth while I was awake (novacaine or not) was too much for me.

My wife called the dentist before I went in to warn them (without telling me). I was soooo stressed I did not sleep for 2 nights leading up to extraction.

Anyway I went in and did it and it was not that bad. Not at all what I had imagined. There was allot of pressure and then a kind of snap/crack and it was over. No blood and guts - no real pain. I really built it up in my head that it was going to hurt etc. It was nothing... Go for it!

For the wisdoms get all four at once - under general...
