I had mine taken out 2 years ago. I had heard that it was extremely painful after the surgery with a huge dull pain in the 4 corners of your mouth. I was sorta looking forward to it though. I had never been drugged or gassed or whatever except when I was 6 years old, so I was really interested in how they did it "these days."

So I went in and I said "so you're gonna take all four teeth out right?" "Yep"

That was a good thing because for the previous 2 years I couldn't shut my jaw (no joke, it went down 75% but if I wanted it to go down 100%, I had to stuff napkins in my mouth at the joints to make sure the wisdom teeth didn't pinch my jaw).

So I asked how they were gonna do it. The nurse said we're gonna knock them out with a small hammer and wiggle until they come out. I asked if I would be unconscious. "Nope!" Uhhh no????? How the hell do you rip 4 teeth out with blood gushing everywhere while I'm awake??

She said that I wouldn't be unconscious, but I wouldn't know what was going on either. Oh come on. I'm 22 and went through college. I'm not a fucking idiot!! How can you be not unconscious but unaware of reality at the same time??

So she put the gas mask over my face and asked me to breath. She said it would soon feel like a huge fat guy was laying on my entire body. About 30 seconds to a minute later I was like WTF. My arms and legs were numb, and it felt like there was a huge mass on top of me. Then the uncontrollable urge to laugh started to kick in. I made it the entire time without laughing (barely).

So I was laying there and was wondering how they were gonna do the operation since I was still awake but numb. Then I said "So how long does it take?"

"We're done!"

WHAT THE FUCK!!!!!!! OH GOD WHAT JUST HAPPENED!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! REWIND PLZ

I never knew I was out. No joke!! Time escaped me, reality escaped me...somewhere in between me laying there numb and me asking about the length of the surgery, they knocked out 4 of my teeth and stitched up bleeding holes in my mouth. So I got up and walked outside to the car. I could have drove home if I had to. I played Battlefield when I got home and then got dry socket the next day because I ate a burrito and ripped open 2 of the holes.

I've never been mind-fucked like that before. In the blink of an eye the entire surgery happened. I was never unconscious (never even closed my eyes) but they managed to do the ENTIRE surgery on me without me knowing, without me ever SEEING the dentist.

I would do it again just because it was so damned weird.
