I had all four wisdom teeth pulled at once when I was in my early 20's...by a Navy dentist.
After the anesthesia set-in, all that I recall was the dentist physically perched on the arm of a chair with a big pair of plyers, literally pulling and twisting on my teeth and the roots, until he could get enough leverage to rip them out.
A few times I heard snaps and cracks, and felt that he was surely breaking my jaw. Other than that, it wasn't too bad of an experience...
Thank goodness for Codeine! I have a pretty high threshold tolerance for pain, so I saved about half of my Codeine pills for future concerts (which almost made it worth the experience - talking about feeling comfortably numb, hehe).
Good luck!
