Tooth extraction Yesterday, I had my wisdom tooth pulled out, because it was decayed. I've never had tooth extraction by a dentist before. When I was little, my teeth fell down naturally, I don't even remember very well now. So I was quite nervous. Fortunately, my dentist was really good, the entire process only took me thirty minutes. Firstly, he gave me an injection of anesthetic. Then I waited for the anesthetic to numb the area where the tooth will be removed aboot 20 minutes. After I can't feel my left lips, my dentist came back. He used a tool to push my tooth, within two minutes, my tooth was removed! I brought my tooth home, it's a souvenir of my courage.
