I had to have emergency dental surgery which ended up meaning a rear molar had to be pulled. The problem is that it had fused to the jaw bone and took more than a hour to remove. Had to cut into the jaw, according to the Dr, and by the time I was done, was soaking wet in sweat. I know everyone has different pain thresholds and all teeth are different but I swear, if I ever have to have another tooth pulled, I won't be awake during it.
