When was the last time you had a tooth pulled?

DW's friend / former co-worker had all her teeth pulled about 4 years ago. Spent a couple years getting implants, lot's of delays, infections, problems. She's thinking of getting the implants removed, too much discomfort....what a mess.
 
I’ve never had my wisdom teeth extracted. My current dentist can’t believe it. I have a filling in one and he said he’s never seen that before and doesn’t know how the dentist got all the way back there and did it.
I have an intense fear of dentists.

I had to see the dentist this morning as I was getting a reaction in a back molar. He had to take an x-ray and said the wisdom tooth had a small hole in it and needed to be removed, and the other molar on the right side had similar. I never expected to hear that but did agree to have one removed today and the other, next month.
It's been about 70 years since I had a tooth extracted and was amazed how times have changed. He was very gentle, and I didn't feel a thing, not unlike when I was
a small child and screamed with the needle. I was pleased when he said my teeth are in good condition considering my age. The only thing that hurt was paying out
$800.00 for x-ray and extraction.
