About an hour ago. Im still pretty stoned but I was surprised at how quick and painless everything went. When they tried to wake my up I was feeling GOOOOOD. And the pain pills are on the way. Anyone have any advice/horror stories?

i had all four out, two impacted. managed to get in a car crash, and very nearly a fight (unrelated) within 36 hours of surgery. tip: if your stitches come out early, get those bad boys restitched. i still have a bit of a hole three years later where my bottom left wtooth used to be.

I had mine out a couple of years ago. I had heard horror stories, so I was a bit apprehensive going in. I didn't even realize I was going to sleep; suddenly they were helping me out of the chair telling me they were done [img]/images/graemlins/grin.gif[/img]

Got home, popped some Vicodin, and watched DVDs and dozed for 2 days. No problems, and only had a bit of pain a couple of days later. I can't believe how lucky I got!

If you can, save some Vicodin for use later- it does wonders for stress headaches back and neck problems too.

I had 2 bottoms done at different times.
Both grew sideways towards the front of my face and were inside my gums.

Took 2 hours for EACH and I was awake for both!!

First one was infected and I got a sore throat that was so painful I went into convulsions on top of the fever I had. Could not move my jaw whatsoever. Couldn't eat for 3 days, could not swallow because my throat was so swollen. Tylenol 3 lasted 1 hour tops for pain relief. Didn't sleep in 3 days.

2nd one not so bad, but the wisdom tooth was lodged under the tooth in front of it. Dentist had to do some cutting, breaking, chiselling, and digging to get it out. The local anisthetic had to be reinjected every 15min and each time it was injected, there was less and less effect. Also, there is a limit on how many injections you can have. Near the end, while he was digging with tweezers to get the fragments of my tooth, there was no anisthetic left. PURE PAIN.

I should've went to a specialist, by my dentist was greedy and wants the money.

I had all 7 (yes, 7) of my wisdom teeth out, and it was no big deal. I was apparently awake for the procedure, but I have no memory of it (they call it twilight sleep). I felt fine afterwards and wanted to go out that night, but my mom wouldn't let me (I was 14 at the time).
