When I had mine out the only bad part was the pharmacist persistently trying to make small talk despite my mouth being stuffed with cotton and numbed with novocain while I was getting my pain meds. The actual procedure wasn't bad. I took the week off work because I'm a wuss and figured I'd spend the week only leaving the bed to take another oxy, but it didn't end up hurting so I spent the time writing a path tracer and rendering cheesy fractal landscapes out of boredom instead.

From posts you've made before, you've almost certainly had more unpleasant experiences in doctor's offices than this is going to be.
