So I went to the dentist for my appointment at 10. The surgeon finally came in at 10:45. By 11 I was asleep and woke up at 11:45 with the surgery done. Not a very fun experience. My whole mouth is numb and its all bloody. At least I get some time off and vicodin.

Yep for the bottem teeth. The top two came out but the bottem had to be cut. I got the top two in a little baggy.

Man, I had local, with two impacted, and I still had to go to work the same night when I had mine done.

Had 9 teeth removed when I got mine done. 4 wisdom teeth and 5 teeth that were still inside my gums under my regular teeth. Had to "operate" twice with a 2 week gap between the 2 times.
God I can still gear the sound of him cracking my teeth and wrenching them out of my mouth

I had a rough experience with the one I've had out so far (starting with the bottom row and since you have so many saliva glands down there it is impossible to just numb one tooth or even a small area they go one at a time). I was under the impression that the most reputable oral surgeon around was going to do it (who did an awesome job for my sister when she had her's out). Turns out, it was his son, who only recently was passed the boards or whatever certification comes with the field. Anyways, he botched the injection (hit a nerve cluster) and my face ballooned beyond circus freak levels, then prescribed pain killers that I'm allergic to (even after I told him about my allergies the moment i sat in the chair and had it clearly all over my chart). He made up for it pretty well though by personally paying for medicine that I could take and went for a round of golf after it all cleared up. Seemed like a gentleman's malpractice settlement. Either way, if you're only numb and bloody you are pretty well off. Don't smoke or drink through a straw or anything similar, you totally don't want a dry socket. If you have more to go, the upper come out FAR easier.

Eh, I had all 4 out a few months ago. 1 erupted, the other 3 impacted. Honestly, it wasn't bad at all. The doc prescribed me something for the pain, which I ended up not taking cause it didn't really hurt much. What did hurt for a few days was the nasty infection I got about a two weeks after. Ironically, I ended up squeezing out most of the puss one day, rinsed with salt water, and it was already clearing up by the time I saw the doc and got antibiotics for it.
I had a paper I was written on to "communicate" to my wife on the drive home. WOW! Anesthesia + pain meds = some trippy shit!

WTF... you part shark or something?
Thank god that my wisdom tooth has a cavity and it may be getting infected cause it wasn't filled about 6 months ago when the dentist found it; I said I'd rip them out in less than 6 months.

I don't think it was that bad. I had local anesthesia - don't remember my mom driving me home and I passed out on my bed for a few hours. Afterwards, I was just taking Ibuprofen for the very mild pain. The worst was when the bottom, right side of my mouth got infected (I had to go back twice for it to be cleaned out) and my face swelled up because of it.
