Glad to hear you made it through OK!
For the rest of you...you all need to find better dentists!!!
When getting my teeth replaced with dentures (cracked a bunch at the roots in an auto accident) I got ALL of my teeth, wisdoms included, pulled in two sessions with the exception of two first molars that I lost years after they were rebuilt when I got my teeth crushed into my face as a kid.
Two sessions, no nitrous-oxide, just novacaine (sp?), no bruising whatsoever, minimal pain (with only aspirin to help afterwards) and extremely minimal swelling. Your face shouldn't swell up after a dentist's visit...if it does, your dentist is not using the proper methods for extraction. Of the two first molars I lost earlier, (two different dentists altogether) one had no swelling and the other, the whole side of my head when that dentist dislocated my jaw pulling the tooth. Good dentists do exist! Find one and stick with them!
