the worst bit
is when they have to cut the tooth into 2 or 3 bits to get it out.

And then when you go back for a checkup you ask why there are extra stitches in your gum, but nowhere near the ex-bewisdomtoothed area:

"Ah, that was my fault. I dropped an instrument."

Bastard.

An instrument?
A euphonium perhaps?

I'm still finding bits in my mouth..
Every now and then, the occasional shard just appears from nowhere, it's like my gums are shedding splinters..

I recall catching a glimpse of what looked like a
bottle opener (you know, the ones with the t-shaped handles...)

And getting very worried.

It was when he sawed the tooth into two and pushed this instrument of tortue into the gap and twisted. Hard. Cue one shattered tooth and the guy trying to reassemble it fragment by tiny fragment on my chest.

Then he had the audacity to charge me over £100, and this was some years back. Had the cheek to call himself a surgeon, too...
