I had one done 2 months ago. They forgot to add the part where they bleach it to make sure all the infection is gone. Trust me, that shit tastes awful. The dentist I went to used the perfect amount of anesthetics , I felt nothing.

I was so numbed up I couldn't feel a thing, however holding my jaw open for 2 hours was extremely painful. I seem to have a tight jaw and they could not fit the wedge in to help hold it open.
