do you go to a dentist for checkups?
because you should. Think of the dental surgeon as your dentist but with more expertise under his belt. Besides, if he messes something up you can sue!!! Isnt THAT the American way?

Like I told you, I know a great oral surgeon in the valley who does them daily.
I had mine done there a few years back and you don't notice a thing until you wake up again. It's heavy sedation, but not general.

Had mine done this summer, i remember him calmly talking to me throughout it
but i dont remember the procedure itself much at all. Totally painless. I actually was very lucky afterwards as i never needed to take ANY pain meds. I broke a pain killer pill in half and had that (the day after sedation wore out), but he had done such a gentle job that i didnt need any after that. Plus i am strong like bull

The risk is infection and a broken jaw
I have seen them sold at a flea market, but sales are ususally restricted to doctors and dentists. Btw ,what style or number forceps and elevators do you think you need?
