I made the mistake of having one of my wisdom teeth removed in a dentists surgery once... I'm sure the guy just wanted the practice! He convinced me it had to come out, so I fronted up for a gruelling couple of hours. (It may have been his first one, his hands were shaking like a leaf!!) That night was spent in agony, and was accompanied by the loss of what seemed like several litres of blood. I managed to drag myself back to the surgery next day where the dentists offsider 'repaired the damge' with a lump of gelfoam and about 4 stitches.

I went back a couple of weeks later to get the stitches removed, whereupon he told me that it was imperative I have the second one removed within the next week as this too would cause heaps of problems.... Well, call me a coward if you like, but that was in 1986 and its still in my jaw to this very day, and, until it gives me trouble, that's exactly where it's going to stay!

Best of luck mate, rather you than me.
