I've had mine extracted as well,but they were out of the skin already.....I remember the doctor drilling and breaking it into pieces and using a pair of needle nose pliers to pullout the pieces......at least you'll be knocked out,so thats great news,I have to be knocked out because my body just rejects the anthestetic,I felt like I was being worked on by some Butcher.I remember he gave me 2 of my teeth to take home and they were HUGE!
