Oh man I feel for you...I've had 2 wisdom teeth pulled out and both were growing inwards and had to be removed surgically in a hospital

I laid there under a blanket just seeing hands over my face through a small hole for an hour when pulling ONE teeth

Pulling all 4 oh man, you won't be able to eat anything for over a week. Eat ALOT of painkillers cuz chances are it will hurt alot pulling 4(!) at once

I recommend Citadon, only thing that helped me. Took away all the pain when it was the worst and I couldn't sleep

@Jibba: Odd, are you sure we're talking about the same gas? I believe it was Nitrous Oxide they said they are giving me if I ask for it. If it puts me to sleep in 10 seconds, I'm all for it though. As for the pills, that shouldn't be a problem as I've never had trouble swallowing pills before.

Yeah, NO is the stuff. It's nice at first, but they really put you out for a long time and it gets awful when you're still coughing up the gas the next day because it smells bad.

I'm good with pills, but these motherfuckers are big.

The week or so following the operation is a nightmare. I had all 4 lost as well. Good luck eating or talking in the first day when there's bloody gauze pads all up in your mouth. I threw up a few times because I swallowed so much blood, and the gauze left a flavor in my mouth that tainted my food.

I had 4 out. There's a lot worse things that could happen. Like having a bone replaced in your ear like I did and being deaf for over a month. that was fun.

It'sn ot horrible as long as they aren't impacted. Just take a lot of pain killers and dont eat small food that could get stuck i nthe holes. That's what fucking HURTS>

I had all 4 removed 2 weeks ago. The whole operation was under 25minutes, I thought it was a joke. Next day I didn't even need pain killers anymore. The whole thing totally restored my faith into modern medicine.

Make sure to watch The Dentist the night before you go. You'll never be scared of anything for the rest of your life then.

I've had all 4 of mine out too. I had a little gas to make me relaxed, but I was awake for the whole thing. It wasn't bad at all, and I didn't need any painkillers afterwards.

You probably didn't have any serious problems with them, lucky you. Mine were coming in under my other teeth, so they literally had to dig into my jaw bones to get the teeth out.

don't worry too much about it. they'll give you painkillers and it'll hurt for a few days but you'll be glad it's done. be careful though not to suck out the blood clots afterwards which is what they call "dry socket". when I got all four pulled of mine pulled I thought one of the bottom ones had dry socket... but turns out it was a weird as hell stitch that I clipped after a few days and felt perfect relief.

and clean out those little holes too... I got spaghetti in mine like a week after the surgery and it sucked..

Just got them out, all 4. Still partially numb so the real pain hasn't set in yet but I've got a nice little bottle of hydrocodone (vicodin) waiting for me. The procedure itself was oddly painless, didn't feel a thing except a very minor sting for the initial novocane injections.
