The process was entirely pain free and over within 5 minutes. The dentist began with an initial injection, and then a second, and then a third. The first was somewhat uncomfortable, but the subsequent injections were without feeling. From there the actual removal began as the dentist seemed to separate the tooth, making a gap between it and its’ neighbour. With some pressure and a lot of care he then eased the tooth out and it was done.
It has only been about 90 minutes since the procedure, and so the lower right half of my face is still numb, but I was impressed by how quick and easy the whole thing was.
