When I had my lower left wisdom tooth extracted (LA only) it took the dentist an hour to remove. It was 7 years ago. It was fully erupted and so my general dentist did it at the clinic He tugged and struggled for what seemed like forever. He apologised afterwards, saying it 'just didn't want to come out' he also noted I'd been biting his finger. I didn't realise and felt awful!!
I fainted when I stood up from the chair and spent some time recovering before I could drive home.
I now have to have my right lower wisdom tooth extracted. It is also fully erupted but had some decay. Causes occasional pain recently.
Is it likely to be just as stubborn and difficult? I am seeing a different dentist now (I am abroad in Thailand).
The surgeon successfully popped out a badly broken and decayed upper RCT molar for me 3 weeks ago so I have some trust after the last experience. But remain a very nervous patient with problems/delay going numb (particularly lower jaw).
