I had my right upper pulled recently, because I have bad genetics they came through and either weren't developed all the way yet or they just sucked. Basically they got a cavity and are hollow in the middle, I got an infection and wow that was crappy. Luckily the root was straight enough and I was in and out of the dentists office within 40 minutes. I'm going back in 2 weeks for a thorough exam and then the rest will likely be pulled. I did need mine pulled the messed up my lower teeth a bit but not too badly, the pressure from the top ones caused one of the back molars to split in half also.
I was only uncomfortable for the rest of the day, after that the are was tender when I'd eat for like 3-4 days. Dentist gave me 2 weeks worth of 750mg hydrocodone. I was taking my womans 100mg demerol when it hurt so I got kind of nauseated(sp?), I'm not sure if it was from the blood or the pills. Good luck it won't be too bad, just do what they tell you for the aftercare procedure and all will be fine.
