Mickey, get a second opinion! If the tooth is healthy, why should it come out, unless it's practially ready to drop out by itself?

I had a dentist years ago who was all but painless. About the only thing I could actually feel was the novacaine injection at the beginning, but even so, sneaky bugger that he was, just as the needle was going in, he'd pinch my lip a little bit to distract me.

Once he'd finished injecting the novacaine, he'd say, "Okay. You can uncurl your toes now."
