One is supposed to be pleasureable, the tooth pulling only if the existing agony is greater than the pain of extraction or you're a masochist in which case you will keep the tooth ache!

1, Are you writing the rules? ( grin )

2. With dental anesthesia, extraction has been painless.

@yvilletom no. Interestingly I had work a few weeks ago that involved serious scraping of the gum, followed by paring it back in order to drill on the soft rotting root underneath then filling. My gum needed coagulent to stop the bleeding. The weird thing was that I had no pain nor anaesthetic.
I can only assume that something was put on the gum to stop sensation.

@FrayedBear There is topical anesthesia. Applied with small swab or brush. No needle.

@yvilletom First time that I've had it - if that's what it was. Thanks FYI.

There's an Australian group that used to do similar. I have posted them previously.
