Mine were just beginning to come in and for some reason my dentist felt it was okay to remove them... trying to pull them was a joke, so he used a tiny reciprocating saw to cut each tooth into pieces. Took 3 hours, and given the amount of local used it would have been better to do general. Worst pain I ever felt was when the anesthetic wore off 30 minutes post procedure.

That reason is probably 'he stands to make a lot of money for getting to them before any other dentist'.

The funny thing is he had been my dentist for 3 years to that point, and because of this my family moved on to someone else. And there were potential repercussions beyond as my face was crazy swollen for a couple weeks and dozens of teachers/students wanted to know WTF happened... like if I was in a car wreck and broke my jaw or something.

I'm sure the local butcher would have costed you less.
