I can not believe I was ever even worried about it. Went in at 9, came out at 9.15 that was with a chat with Dentist first, x ray numbing, taking it out and then waiting for it to stop bleeding. I’d say it took him 1 minute 40 seconds to get it out (which he told me
He was just looking) completely pain free. Actually a bit embarrassed about how worried I was over it, glad he never told me he was doing it because I’d have worried and I absolutely didn’t need to.
 
So delighted to read that! Give yourself a pat on the back. And of course, dental reality never is as bad as our fears and expectations, but that doesn’t change the fact how incredibly hard it is to get to the appointment.

Wishing you a speedy recovery and hope you treat yourself with something nice to celebrate :)

All the best wishes and keep us posted.
