hahaha funny that you started this thread i just had mine pulled 3 days ago, and YES they do give shots and YES they will need a knife to cutt you open but it doesn't hurt, only when hes trying to rip out your tooth with this huge utensil and then jabs you in the tongue with it... then they give you stitches and prescribe you shitty medication so your in pain for days having blood drip down your throat as you try and sleep, but you should be okay stay positive...:thumbsup:
