Yes. I did. Full extraction of upper right #2 molar. They did topical numbing, then 4 shots in numbed area. The extractor device is 2 prongs on one side, and 1 on the other. It mates with your tooth's root. There's also a gum separator so they don't cause tissue damage. The actual extract, if the tooth doesn't break, is about 2 minutes. And yep, it sounds like wet wood snapping, like that tree sound/feel described. If it breaks, it's called a "surgical extraction". Then they drill and pull the pieces as they come out. That can add a few minutes. Mine was in 2 pieces. They drilled for 3 seconds, and used a tweezers or something like that size. Little noticeable sound on that. After that, you put gauze in your mouth so the area stays moist. Simple, crude, and effective. I was in a great deal of pain with that tooth, as I had infection/cavity down to the root. I was glad to part with it, given the extensive damage.
