Where your teeth all "grown out" though? I need 2 removed, the bottom one is impacted, half of it is still stuck in the gum. The one on top is still IN the gum, but I can feel it starting to come out. So they'll have to use a knife or some type of scalpel and cut open my flesh! And sew me up with stiches afterwards...

I've never had stitches before. I might be traumatized for my life if I have to endure all of that with local. It'll be like having your flesh cut open while still being conscious. Even though I might not feel anything, I still can see the sights, needles, blood, and hear the cracking and smashing noises...
I have to talk to my dentist first and see if local is an option... the problem is he doesn't do consultation, I just have to go in and get it all yanked out on the same day. That is making me more anxious because I don't know what's going to happen... or if they are going to stick a tube down my throat. It appears that's how people die ... when they don't breathe on their own...
