< wasn't asleep for <'s wisdom teeth removal. They numb the crap out of your mouth so there's little to no actual pain involved. The top ones are generally easy and almost unnoticeable, but with the bottom ones, < felt a load of pressure, and they took longer. The most pain felt wasn't more than a sharp pinch, they just push so hard that you swear your tooth is going to collapse into a singularity, before you realise how damn strong your molars actually are.
It's not bad, just somewhat uncomfortable. The mere fact that the constant pain < was in was disappearing while the teeth were being removed was almost heavenly.
