i got some sort of sedative when i got mine pulled out. all i took afterward was some ibuprofein and i pulled my gause out later that evening.
 
 
Nope. I don't exactly trust dentists either. They see my wisdom teeth and I see the dollar signs in their eyes. Fvck 'em.
 
Have I had them removed? Yes, bottom two in one shot when I was 16 and it was a very horrible experience, the dentists actually put his foot on my chair in an effort to get better leverage to yank it out, guy was a freaking hack, second time when I was 22 I was scared as shyte to go through that amount of pain again and litterly didn't feel a thing and was done in 10 mins where as the first time the guy was at it for over an hour. Was two different dentists btw second time I did my home work and got a very highly recommended doctor.

No, it's no big deal. During the surgery itself (at least in my experience) they put you under IV Valium, so you're conscious but feel no pain and have no memory of what's happened. You get pretty good pain meds afterwards, and as long as you do what they tell you in terms of aftercare (you have to rinse the socket frequently with salt water) it'll heal fine and you won't feel much pain.

EDIT: Actually it really freaks me out to remember that experience, because I just now talked to one of my best friends on the phone and her father just died - I met him for the first time at a party the night after I had my wisdom teeth removed.

Wow you had it good with the valium... All I had was local anesthetic and was wide awake. Had two impacted tooth. The surgeon had to shoot me up, then proceeded to go in there with a knife to remove some gum and went to town... 45 minutes later both my impacted tooth were out in 10s of pieces.

Mine came out in 4 pieces, I just had the local stuff poked right into my mouth ya that wasn't fun. When I think of it my eyes water from the memory of the cracking noise.
 
No, you dont feel a thing.

Youre so doped up on pain kilers that everything from when they give you the happy gas is a blur.

But, whatever you do dont sell the extra perscription painkillers they give you to stupid rich kids. You might not regret it. :laugh:
 
Got all four out at the same time back in High School. They gassed me, so I didn't feel a thing. Recovery was not bad, either. Just make sure you clean the holes out effectively. You do NOT want dry socket.

Here's to a successful operation and a speedy recovery!
 
Had mine removed like 2 months ago...they gassed me too, didn't feel ANY pain whatsoever to this day. Everyone told me to expect absurd amounts of pain and to get lots of vicodin(sp?), but felt nothing..lucky me 🙂
