I had to get mine cut out last year. They couldn't pull them because they werent growing in yet, but X-rays showed that they were completely sideways and if I let them grow it would mess up my teeth and that would have made braces a waste of money and time. Anyway, I remeber getting a shot, then I remember waking up and walking dizily clutched to the nurses arm. She gave me to my dad, and I walked out in the parking lot and getting a milk shake at a McDonalds. You can't use straws when you get your wisdom teeth taken out, so I ate it with a spoon. My mouth was still numb so I didn't realize I had shake dripping down my mouth. My mouth bled for a few days, but I got over that. The gross thing is squirting water into the holes to get the food that gets stuck out. I took tylonol for a few weeks, and I was surprised how well that went. A lot of people get RX pain killers, but it was over the counter for me. PS: eating Doritos(or any hard chip for that matter) is painful for about a month or two.

well... i have all 4 of my wisdom teeth coming through. they're impacted. meaning there isn't enough space in my mouth (supposedly) for them to fit. the bottom 2 are fine. i haven't had any pain for a while (touch wood), and the top two are just... well.. there. usually you are under a general anesthetic if you have all 4 taken out at once, and you can't do much for like... a week (well... that's what's recommended by my oral surgeon, and i'll believe him!) but if you want to know a good doctor... my mom actually works for one in newcastle... charlestown actually... he's the best in NSW (so i've been told). i can give you details if you need.
