whats it like getting wisdom teeth pulled?

I had the top 2 taken out it was real easy.Now i have to go to an oral surgen to get the bottoms taken out.Make sure you was out your mouth after you eat so food doesnt infect the holes i heard thats what herts.

Man this thread makes me nervous. I have 4 impacted wisdom teeth and so far I have not had any pain. I'm 36 now. My dentist always asks me about them, "Are they hurting?". I always tell him, "Nope". He's been after me to have them pulled before they do start hurting and I've just been too chicken. I know that day is coming though.

Same deal with me, only I'm 52. Still no pain or discomfort. Maybe I'll get the mortician to pull them for me.

My experience wasn't bad at all. Just two upper wisdom teeth were pulled as I never grew lower ones. They had to be removed as they had negative camber and a lot of toe-out.

Was awake but had a local and nitrous (great stuff, BTW, and I'm very envious of engines that get to use it on a regular basis).

Thanks for the laugh Mary.

I had all 4 pulled in the military. And they hurt like crazy. Had problems with my teeth actually breaking and having to have them drilled out.

Look out for bleeding after the procedure also.
