I nodded, my curiosity sated, and continued a story from my freshman year of college which I doubt they could understand due to the thingy in my mouth holding my tongue halfway down my throat. I also seem to remember the Dentist, huffing and straining, standing astride me on the chair with both hands grasping the pliers he was using to pull out my wisdom teeth. I suspect at some point during the procedure the lines between reality and drug induced hallucination became blurred.

Good luck with your visit, try not to think about bloody scalpels and the force required to rip teeth from your head with pliers.

I wish I could say mine was equally as fuzzy. My first experience with DENTAC was having all four of my wisdom teeth removed. I had a full-bird working on me and he assured me that removing four teeth from my skull wouldn't be as unpleasant as it sounded. Having 10 removed already for orthodontics (I had LARGE teeth as a child), I wasn't all that worried.

After a short prep, I hear a large crunch and a shooting pain in the lower-right side of my mouth. Apparently he started to work on my impacted tooth with no Novocain (I asked for no sedation as I've been awake for all removals). A few unhappy grunts later he got the point and filled my face with needle pricks. I couldn't feel my face for almost a day after the procedure.
