Mine were impacted but hadn't erupted yet so I had them all taken out under general anesthesia. The operation was fine but the post op was tough... my face was swollen for a week and I didn't leave the house until nearly 2 weeks after they came out 
Got a tip for us?

What to expect from Wisdom Teeth extraction?

I had 4 impacted wisdom teeth taken out while I was under general anesthesic many years ago when I was 16. Had a weird reaction to the drug--made me cry when I woke up, even though I was HAPPY the operation was over with, and the pain had not kicked in yet. Really worried my poor mom, but I got over that strange little mood blip pretty quickly.
My jaw swelled up enough that it bruised, making me look like I needed a shave--especially annoying since I'm a girl.
I also had more bleeding that the oral surgeon had led us to believe, but it turns out it was a normal amount. I ate lots of ice cream--the cool temp was soothing!!!
Have never missed those suckers, and am glad they are gone!
