Had three and a half teeth knocked out in the wreck: two on top and one and a half on the bottom. One on the bottom was also bent and sat at an angle.
It recently became infected and I had to have it pulled.
The dentist numbed up my mouth and then pretty much carved it and pulled it out.
Even with the numbing, it was one of the worst pains I've ever felt and I've felt a lot in a lot of different ways.
Did he mess up numbing it or is it really that painful?
I can see why pulling teeth is a torture tactic.

I had one that got infected. Went to my old man's and got drunk, he pulled it out with pliers wrapped in a paper towel. Bled real bad, but I don't remember any pain.

Some times if there is an abscess or infection it can keep the painkiller from working as well.
An active dental infection will usually result in the presence of pus. In most cases, the pus is acidic. Conversely, dental anesthetics (lidocaine, novcaine, etc.) function best in slightly basic environments. The end result is that the unique chemistry of the infection “deactivates” the local anesthetic, making it so that more anesthetic is needed. And in cases of severe infections, sometimes you simply cannot get the patient 100% numb.

My method is quicker.

It can, just depends on the nerve. And if any of the root gets broken off. If it did, the dentist may leave it (it'll work itself out in a few days) or he may agitate the gum trying to get the root out.

Yeah... I had to pretty much just take the pain when I had one pulled a few years back. It was brutal. Then a couple of days later I was at the movie theater with my now ex wife watching Gone Girl. I felt a tiny pop on my gums, and my entire jaw started to tingle. It was the sweetest damn release when that infection finally broke. I remember shovelling food in my mouth for hours after that.
I'm gonna break every record they've got. I'm tellin' you right now. I don't know how I'm gonna do it, but it's goin' to get done.

Did this make anyone else throw up in their mouth a little?

I thought the "I had to just take it" comment was better.

Well, it was good, but it didn't make me burp vomit.

I figured that just meant it's hard to do or tedious process?
I usually heard it when people were referring to working with someone who was bullheaded, meaning that you needed to keep hammering away.
I guess it could mean both but I just never associated actual pain with that saying.

I drink Tito's, then I was hanging out with this Russian babe at the liquor store behind my place and a friend came in and bought me a bottle of Grey Goose, and then I have about ten bottles of bourbon I won all worth over $120.

I went in because I was in pain but I had no clue they were going to pull it or I would have shown up too drunk to spell my own name on my Lightwriter that talks for me!

Welp, you blew it! Always go to the dentist trashed. That's my motto.

I'll remember that next time
That's actually a GREAT idea, but the problem is that I'm German-Irish an come from a long line of alcoholics, so it takes me A LOT to get drunk and A LOT MORE to not be able to remember everything that happened!
Plus, if I show up that drunk, I'll be drooling on myself and I'll feel stupid if the dentist is just like "everything looks all clear, so we just need a cleaning!"
