Number 30. They have to pull it because somewhere along last year or so the top of the tooth broke off and the gum grew up in it, but it didn't hurt at all.
They cut the gum away if it's submerged and then use what's essentially a specialy made pair of surgical stainless pliers or other tools designed to grab the tooth and basically just pull as much out as they can. Ussually the tooth will break if it's rotten, as yours seems to be, and they'll use smaller pliers to get the root peices out.
They'll either use gas and novacaine or just novacaine.
When I had my wisdom teeth pulled I went without anastetic, which if you ahve a high tollerance for pain, I'd recomend. The dentist/oral surgeon is much more carefull when he knows you can feel it.
That's just me though.
