They must just do things a little less gingerly in TX.
It's likely the military dentistry thing. I got all four of mine out at Ft. Bragg and what I got was enough Novocaine, or some caine derivative, to bring a rhino to it's knees. One of them was really badly impacted and the doc said "you'll feel some pressure here". What he did was drill a hole in the side of the tooth and then take an "L" shaped tool and used it to break the tooth. Then pulled out the pieces.
Some painkillers and a few days quarters and good as new. I hope you mend up quickly Meghan.
I have always tempered my killing with respect for the game pursued. I see the animal not only as a target but as a living creature with more freedom than I will ever have. I take that life if I can, with regret as well as joy, and with the sure knowledge that nature's ways of fang and claw or exposure and starvation are a far crueler fate than I bestow. - Fred Bear
