This has nothing to do with your inquiry, but I had all four out one at a time, by a dentist; one was impacted, it took an entire hour to get it out with him drilling on my jaw bone, novocaine only, did not completely kill the pain...and I can still play fine. It just was not much fun. He was a good dentist, not some new grad at the bottom of his class.

Then a decade later I had to have bone implants in all four sockets, done by a specialist but also with just novocaine, I guess I'm just a masochist. I can still play.

Some people resemble a chipmonk for a week or so afterwards, due to the swelling. I guess it depends on how deep they have to dig.

Cheers!
