I had all 4 removed at once. They were impacted. It sucked ass. Worst part for me was the constant bleeding for hours. I came home high as a kite from the meds, passed out and woke up a couple hours later with a blood soaked pillow. I had a horrible experience. However, I know some people who have had their removed and had very little issues post-surgery. got mine out in 1992,and had a similar experience. top 2 just pulled right out,but the bottom 2 were impacted,and had to be drilled apart into pieces. was novacained up to my ass,so I didn't feel anything, but once it started to wear off, the narcotics they gave me for pain - whooo boy! I actually went out partying that night with my friends, I was so high and felt nothing! bad mistake,because I was bleeding a lot and swallowed a lot of blood,and literally had to fight later that night not to vomit up all the blood in my stomach,cause I was afraid to pop the stitches. pain-wise,no,it wasn't bad at all. recovery-wise,it sucked.

Has anyone here ever gotten them pulled? I found out today that I have to have all four pulled at once, along with a tooth that I had a root canal on a few years ago which is now infected. I know that getting them pulled affects people differently, with some being fine and some others vomiting and barely being able to anything for the next few days. Oh Jesus I feel for ya man.....I had to get all 4 done at once too.....in the same year my jaw was broken twice. once naturally then it had to be reset at the hinges....it was quite the year for the f*ckin dentists chair Ill tell ya. Like Bash I bled for days out of it.

I know my mate The Kevstaaa is undergoing surgery for it soon (all the best mate) but I am currently on a day off looking after my brother who had them all taken out, and was under heavy sedation. As I write this, he's resting, but the sedation knocked him goody for a while. Poor bugger had 3/4 of them impacted...

Having it done around 1PM and my girlfriend is bringing me home. I'll have to eat soon after because they don't want me to get nauseous when I take my pain pills.

Hope they don't molest you while you're under sedation.

Hope they don't molest you while you're under sedation. The gas is fantastic.

All done. The gas was indeed fantastic. I feel good now even though my numbness is wearing off.

I got mine taken out over the summer, all four. Two were impacted if I remember correctly. That being said, it went well and I only needed to take my pain medication once outside of what I had to take regularly. Didn't have a lot of excess bleeding either. I got lucky I guess. And I'm not one to advocate drug use, but holy crap do you feel good when you wake up. The office I went to was playing some soft music as I woke up. Well, the song was Everyday by Buddy Holly and hey, it isn't like I'm just NOT going to sing along right? Apparently I was quite loud What can I say? I felt great!

Reading all these funny gas stories makes me wish I was out completetly during it too, even though mine went perfectly well and it wasn't that bad.

I guess I'm one of the fortunate ones who wasn't born with wisdom teeth. The closest thing I could relate to was taking my fiancee to get her four pulled. She didn't remember most of that day at all, even when she was upright. Recovery time seems to vary, from her taking over a week to my brother who bounced back in 2-3 days.

I had all 4 of mine pulled at the same time back in the 90's. The doctor used novacaine. Afterwards I went to a weekend long Phish concert in Vermont. It was awesome.
