Dentists sure have changed.

Eta: is anyone going to start a new Couch?
A dentist could not take mine out. They were severely impacted and only partially erupted because there just wasn't room. The dentist referred me to an oral surgeon because I needed surgery rather than extraction.

My dad had his taken out in the hospital under general anesthesia. He's 62. I think you probably just had a callous/cruel/incompetent dentist, especially since you didn't even get laughing gas or ice. I don't think opioids are typically offered for extractions.
