I've had 16 teeth pulled over the course of my life so far. Those injections are definitely the worst part of the whole thing. The numb lower lip gets mildly aggravating sometimes, but that doesn't last for too long. It basically just puts you out of normal communication for a few hours.
I was put to sleep for 4 out of the 16 and those were definitely the best. I'll be getting put to sleep again to get all four of my wisdom teeth out in May.
EDIT: It's also pretty annoying that you have to alter your diet after getting teeth pulled so the holes in your mouth can heal. Forgot about that part.
...wow.

Yeah, I had general anesthesia when mine were pulled out. Just woke up with a mouth full of bloody gauze. But at least I didn't have to be awake for the pulling.
Hey, it went pretty quickly for me.

I had 4 teeth pulled and I was awake for it. Probably the most painful thing I've ever experienced.
But that isn't saying much. I've been able to avoid any major pain or trauma for basically my entire life.
Did the dentist administer local anesthesia at least?
