    painful and time consuming

    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
