I was recently told they have to pull a tooth, I broke it at the beginning of the year and they're just now getting to it. They said they'd put me under anesthesia and everything.. it's just scary. When I was younger my mom took me into a random dentist to have a tooth looked at. They told her they "had" to pull it. Like 4 people held me down while they pulled the tooth, no anesthesia, no nitrous, no anesthetic. No type of sedation whatsoever.. they just held me down and ripped it out. Years later come to find out that tooth didn't need to be pulled. I guess now that they mentioned extracting a tooth, it brought up that memory and it kind of scares the shit out of me to even think about it. So I guess I'm just wondering... I'm valid for being low-end traumatized, right?😂has anyone else gotten a tooth removed, was it as bad as I'm thinking it is?
