Yes, and yes it was fairly sore for a few days, nothing major though.

That's what I expected .. were you awake for it? the sound of drilling goes right through me.

Im hopeing to not have to be awake for it ... I think my main issue is I have to many teeth so there's not enough space and its become impacted, I was on 2 different types of antibiotics within the space of 3 months second lot were stronger due to pain and when i went the second time i was also reffered to have the teeth out. Im going in this week for it

Are you going to the dentist to have them out?
Dentist will do it under local anaesthetic as they're not allowed to put you under general.

I think you can ask for it to be done under general but you'll be waiting a while for a day surgery opening. I was on the waiting list for 2 years.

No im going to the hospital emergency dentist as I didn't have a dentist when I first exprienced pain and was in so much pain that I had no choice but to call them same with the second time around.

I had one out, it was the lower back left and it was Impacted (On its side). Had it out in hospital and it didn't really hurt (Probably due to the yummy drugs I was on). The stitches hurt though because they dug into my gums for about 2 weeks but it was bearable, nothing serious.

stitches dug? were they not disolvable?

oh right .. see my problem would be if it irratates/itches cos you can't really do anything with it being in your mouth id just have to cope.
