Has to be when I got rid of my wisdom teeth. They grew diagonally and wouldn't surface so the dentist had to make an incision in my gum, then drill a small hole in the teeth and pry them out. The dentist just numb the surgical area, I was wide awake and aware of what's going on the whole time. They were done on two separate occasions. The left one was a bit easier to deal with than the right one. Still, it took him over 3 hours to get it done. The right one was close to 4 as it grew near-horizontal. Lots of bleeding and swelling and pain. I've never wanted to punch someone so much.
Then there was a time when I was in 2nd grade. I was sitting in class and my baby tooth has been loosen for a few days. It was bothering me so I used my finger to flick it off. Amazingly enough it flew off. I couldn't even see which direction it went so I didn't go retrieve it. Then there were one or two times where my cousins used strings to tie around my loose teeth and yank them out. This was back when I was a kid in Vietnam. Fun times.
