I was 17 when mine got pulled. The dentist took xrays and decided that they would be easy to pull out. So an appointment was made for the first two, and then 3 weeks later the 2nd two.
I go in, they're doing the right side of my mouth first. Well, apparently my bottom jaw doesnt' take to freezing. And apparently my mother has had the same problem in the past. I felt it. And i heard it. And to top it off, they didnt' realize just how far down my bottom wisdom tooth was and had to DIG it out. They actually had to shave off part of my jaw bone. It was descusting and it sounded rude, and i bled for days.
The 2nd appointment wasn't so bad except again bottom jaw didnt' freeze all the way, but, at least they didn't have to dig and shave bone.
Bottom line, get the gas. Forget about this "man up" crap. Just get the gas. Over and done with in 3 days tops, you're good to go.
My dentist still apologizes to me to this day for that....and that was....well, i was 17 so...a long time ago.
