I had to have a cracked tooth pulled a couple years back after it led to an abscess. They did the procedure under local anaesthetic only.

Oh my god, did it hurt. I have a pretty high tolerance for pain and even I was praying for it to be over as soon as possible. I can only imagine what people who are more sensitive go through.

(I would have happily taken general anaesthetic instead, but they didn't even offer me the option.)

Reading some of these makes me grateful to have gone to an oral surgeon to have all four wisdom teeth removed at once while under general anesthesia.
