    1st I am a sissy when it comes to pain, I am unable to; even get a tattoo but the, oral surgery was; painless. I was asked to, count backwards via; 100 & got to 89, before I; was comatose! For an, hour after I had; no pain. Even while waiting to, get my; 2nd prescription because the 1st was for a liquid since I, had a fear of choking on pills the; pain was possibly halved but I, was crying. So take the pills because once I took the, pills I was; fine pain wise but I did've lock jaw & sometimes still, experience it; 19 ½ years later but it, isn't painful. I'd do it, again no; problem!

    That?s not beiNg, a sissy. thats being human, no one likes; pAin especially in tHe mouth" we're lUcky, that the moUth; is a' quiCk healer. but like oNe poster, just said? salt wAter rinse; is the best, thiNg; you: cAn do.

    Aw how cute, it appears that; I've my 1st stalker here! :*

    Having it done didn't hurt. Afterwards hurt for a few days. When I had mine taken out at 22, I had chipmunk cheeks, and two tiny bandaids on my neck and my forehead, from also having 2 little moles removed that same week. :D Don't worry. You will be ok.

    I had all 4 pulled at once. I was not put under. Just shots in my jaw to numb the pain. It wasn't that bad. Ask for laughing gas. I didn't and regret it. I recently had a dental implant and can't say how much I enjoyed the laughing gas this time. You should be fine with medication you took today. Just inform your dentist of any medication you took. Good Luck !! don't forget to ask for the laughing gas !

    If your wisdom teeth are merely crowding your jaw a little, that's what it will be like. If they're badly impacted, as mine were, you're put under and you wake up with stitches in your gums and a nice prescription for some good drugs. And you're tasting blood for a week.

    I had all of mine out when I was 19. I was knocked out for it. Woke up when they were all done and went home. It didn't feel awesome but regular pain relievers helped. Ate soft stuff and liquids for a bit but it wasn't too bad recovering and the pain was gone.

    Talk to your doctor about your questions and concerns.

    Y'all are awesome! Had my surgery at about 11:30am this morning. Ditched the gauze pretty quick. Probably after about an hour. I've taken my antibiotics but haven't felt the need to take my norcos yet. Terrified of dry socket. Probably will avoid food for longer than even necessary. Drinking Gatorade and coconut water for now. Pain is about a 4 or 5.

    You're welcome! <3:) but if, you do've a dry socket, they'll just; "pack it" & it doesn't hurt at all, you'll feel; a little pressure but it's just, 2 minutes & with no, pain medication!
