    Got two old wisdom teeth removed this morning (not impacted, just decayed).

    Total time spent in dental chair…28 minutes.

    5 minute chat explaining what’s what

    20 minutes of injecting local anaesthetic and waiting for it to kick in

    3 minutes of the smoothest tooth extraction I’ve ever had.

    Now the suffering begins

      I had mine out under a general aesthetic. Went private. Sent me home with the good drugs. I was high for a week. Didn’t feel a thing.

      May I offer a snap lock bag of frozen peas for pain relief?

        Mine have been out for over 20 years and were just regular teeth. No deep surgery was required thankfully.

        My missus had hers out about 15 years and the had the same experience as you.
