Oh no! Sorry to hear that, @azircon - that infection looks nasty!
I hope you and @slobberchops don't mind - I had to chime in here with my horror story, as my dentist performed my wisdom teeth op "old school" i.e. under local. He told me - in exacting detail - exactly how the 30 min op under general is done, and we both agreed that it wasn't the right option for me, especially as one out of my four wisdom teeth was so badly impacted into my jaw bone, it took two dentists to remove it (at one time, one of them had to kneel on my chest) leaving me with sixteen stiches in the lower left part of my mouth.
Glad it went so quickly and smoothly, @azircon - here's to your speedy recovery!

I have actually heard similar horror stories. A close friend, still have tingling sensation in her jaw almost all the time, and probably for life. My wife had to do full body anesthesia, and was in wheelchair the next day.
Thankfully mine is over under 30 min, and just took a single push and pull as per my dentist. He said that he didn't expect it to be that easy!
Will see how I heal. Finger crossed.
Oh that's good to hear! My fingers are crossed too!
