I had mine removed a few years ago...

I went to the dentist for a regular check up and she said: Lets take it out right now...

I called my boyfriend to come over and hold my hand, but by the time he was there it was already out and it wasn't as bad as I was afraid off.....

But it wasn't anything like with you...the dentist pulled it out herself so nothing special! Lucky me I guess. I would freak out if I needed it done in the hospital...
