it was painless for me, and they nocked me out to... Because the only things I remember is passing out at the dentists office, than waking up about 5 hours later, with a shake from jack in the box next to me while I was laying down on a couch in the living room... But the reason it sucked was because I had to deal with it during halloween, at my friends party, and then my stitches fell out that night.
