If your health is good and you can afford it go to sleep while they do it. Then it's a piece of cake. You will usually have some swelling and discomfort about 3-4 days after surgery. They normally give you a narcotic pain reliever to get filled at the pharmacy. Follow all of your post operative instructions and you should do fine. |

hey... i had my wisdom tooth yanked last year. i also contracted a bad infection before i got it yanked. i know how the pain is. waking up with a sore mouth everyday isnt the best feeling .
my dentist told me it would bleed a lot, but it didnt for me as im already anaemic and it didnt cuase me much discomfort. the first day i had a throbbing pain from wher emy tooth had been extracted but it subsided over the next few dayss. and i was prescribed a very strong pain killer. which i eventually got hooked onto. so be craeful
and yes youw antt o get it extracted coz even if the pain and swellinggoes away for a while it is bound to reurn sooner or later |

I was put to sleep to have mine removed 2 top ones, people said i would be really sore when i came round it wasn't that sore, i was really swollen and rather sick with the anaesthetic |

Mine didn't hurt very bad but they were all straight. I hear the ones that give you problems are the ones that are impacted, sideways against other teeth. These have to be cut out.
Don't mess with the packing they put in and don't drink through a straw. If you remove the plug where the tooth was you will have what is called a dry socket. They say this is really painful. |

Thanks for posting this, I'm waiting to go in hospital to have one removed, and after reading what's been posted, I'll tell you I'm not looking forward to it one little bit |

I had mine removed Wednesday. All four. I had IV sedation and I can't remember a thing of it. I just lay down, they put a line in, and then said okay get up it's over. Sweet as. The bleeding was worst straight after and I had to stuff my mouth with gauze but it stops eventually. Just keep your mouth still. It will bleed the first time you eat too. I'm still in a bit of pain but it's just a dull throb. Smiling hurts. My face was still numb the first night and the bruises and swelling have only come up today. It's not pleasant but it's not as bad as all the horror stories, you'll be fine. Better to have them out and avoid infection in the future. |

It's best to find a good oral surgeon. It does hurt but it's best if you have plenty of ice packs and soft stuff to eat. The biggest thing the oral surgeon will tell you is to watch out and don't end up with dry socket (where the tooth is extracted). Good luck! |

yeah it hurt like hell. but don't let that scare you. It hurt so bad I refused to go back to the dentist for a very very long time, I had to be drug there kick and screaming, Super bad idea I ended up needing all my teeth pulled.
That was 4 months ago and my gums still aren't healed.
but hey i don't ever have to go back, course I have to gum everything I eat.
So I'd say getting the wisdom teeth removed was a piece of cake. |

I had one out last year - it took around 30 seconds of actual dental work not counting applying the local anesthetic. It did not hurt and I was eating notmally within a couple of hours and I did not need any pain killers. |

I had 3 removed at once. I do not remember it hurting very bad at all. Make sure an oral surgeon does the procedure though, not just a dentist. |

I've had two out and no it didnt hurt at all, the one in my lower jaw was really easy, pliers, grab, push down, jiggle, straight out, 10 second job, on the upper jaw it was harder, had to be almost levered out, no pain afterwards with either though. |

Yes i had two out at the same time. I got home and lay down. When the cocaine wore off i hit the roof with pain, i was up all night rolling on the floor. I was at the dentist door for them opening the next day, i have forgotten what the name of my problem was but when the tooth is pulled the gum stays the same shape as when my tooth was in and does not heal over. It is pain i will never forget...... |

i had 3 removed in the same day i use iv sedation i didnt remember a thing if you get iv sedation .i tell about my experience they put gas on my nose then iv in my arm. the last thing i could feel is them putting the banaid on my arm then i was out. i woke back up seing people who like doctores around me.i didnt even know what they were doing lol. then i woke back up i see the dentist assistant walking away from me and im like what shes doing then i seen my mom. and it was all over with its took actually 30 minutes to get 3 wisdoms out. but since i had got iv sedation which is twilight sleep it seem like 10 minutes to me because i was out of it.then they will me to the car. |

Mine wasn't too bad, it took 1 1/2 hours! Mine were also impacted and I had to have some bone removed ~ ouch! The crunching sound is the worst.
WARNING: DON'T GET IT DONE AT 2:30 ! (TOOTH HURTY!!)

I have a good relationship wi my orthodontist - I just grab him where it hurts if I want it to and ask if he is gonna hurt me?! lol!
No seriously if u already had some nasty pain then get rid of the source but get knocked out first. The swelling is awesome but wi good drugs u don't care! The hamster effect wears off after a few days but milk it for lots o sympathy. Hope u like soup n ice cream cos its all u can eat 4 about a fortnight?!
Warning if you go to teaching hospital then defo get knocked out cos u don't wanna see the mess the students make o the job (broken teeth, gouged tongues, slashed gums and stitches u did not need!) |

It did hurt a little bit, but if I had gone to the dentist sooner the tooth could have been saved.
Always be true to your teeth, and they will never be false to you. |

lets put it this way, after the effects of the anaesthetic wore off....I had to go to emergency ward and personally ask them if they could knock me out or sumthing...it was jus UNBEARABLE! |

i have had three wisdom teeth removed and only one gave me any trouble and that was just because there was complications with if you get the tooth removed then you wont have the pain anymore isnt that worth it all else the pain is just going to keep coming back |

Got all mine out in one go. Never felt a thing. Then again, they put me to sleep for it. Hope you suffer badly. |

Had all 4 removed at once under general anaesthetic. It hurt for about three days but was OK if I took painkillers. It's not that bad. The worst part of it was looking like the elephant man for a while. |
