Yeah... ouch! Its sure not inside the "pleasure zone". Believe me, I know what I'm talking about. I had ALL teeth pulled when I was about 50. Trust me, you dont want to do that twice. Fortunatly, it can only be done once.
The only good aspect - compared with your situation - was, that I didn't have to pay for that myself. Only later, for the dentures, I had to participate in the cost of making those with about AUS$ 1000.
Those are the benefits of the German public health system. All neccessary medical treatment is basically free. But of course there is the downside that everybody who is employed is paying into the health service - and not little.
