In high school I wanted to grow my hair out from a pixie cut. Went to the lady down the street who had a salon in her basement. While I walked there, my mom called and told her to give me another pixie. Never went back to a salon until I wanted my long hair styled (Gibson girl look) for my wedding.
I had all 4 out at once by the worst oral surgeon in the city (referred by regular dentist’s receptionist since he was out of town – He was horrified when he found out). Just Novocaine – 30-40 shots of it over 6 hours. Top two came out easily. Bottom 2 seriously impacted – had to be broken up and a bit of jaw had to come out too. Hadn’t had breakfast or lunch that day (although the surgeon took a break for his, leaving me sitting with mouth propped open on rubber block) so all I wanted at that point was a milk shake. Wrong! Sucked out clot from last hole and I developed a dry socket. Worst pain ever.
