I was awake when i got my pulled when i was 15, mouth was to small. I watched them do it in a mirror and it was tight, i didnt get numbed either, i have a high pain tolerance, they didnt hurt either. They said i was one of the few lucky ones, because mine were still below the gum, but i quit bleeding right after they were done. I really didnt get messed up on the medicine, ive taken it before for broken foot. Mine was a quick recovery, no blood, and painless didnt really need the medicine. I guess its the indian in me they made me heal so quick FTW!
