How many wisdom teeth did you have? Does it hurt to get them removed?

I have one or that's what I was told. Supposedly I am supposed to get it removed but dunno.

It doesn't hurt as they use anesthetic.

However, I would recommend going to a place that knocks you out completely(unless you enjoy waching & hearing someone cut open your mouth)

You get an IV, get heavy sensation in your chest then your out. You'll wake up and be sort of out of it for 4-8 hours.

Thanks to meds, you'll only be sore. The worst part is honestly eating is a ****** for about 2 weeks.

Hey I just got one removed 2 fridays ago. I was awake the whole time. The tooth was horizontal and they removed it in about 7 minutes.

The part that hurt the most was the numbing and after that I couldn't feel anything. The hardest part was trying to eat afterwards.

I iced it for a little while and it never swelled up too much, and I never took my pain medication and it never hurt. It's really not that bad, but then again I only got one out.

Definitely try to get your teeth out before they start crowding your teeth or cause more pain.

It was one of the most unpleasent things I've ever experienced. All four removed whilst awake. Don't ask me why I wasn't put out because I don't know and I think I'm gonna bring that up next time I see one of my parents. I was too young to know better and object to being awake.

I'm 21, never had any teeth removed. I honestly don't know exactly what the hell wisdom teeth are or why I should be concerned. Something doesn't seem to add up...British_Azimio

I had two pulled on two separate occasions, still have another two but those never bothered me.It shouldn't hurt much as long as you go to a proper dentist. The only part that was noticeably painful was when you are given anaesthetic (injecting a syringe into the skin around your tooth), after that you simply don't feel any pain at all.

I was especially surprised when I had to have my second wisdom tooth removed. The tooth was so secure the dentists had to bring drills, hammers and all sorts of stuff over, with one person holding my mouth and the other pulling it out eventually. It was only localanaesthetic, so I was wide awake as I watch them work and my blood gush here and there. The only place that hurt was my lips, because there were kept stretched open for quite awhile.

They're 4 extra molars all the way in the back of your mouth, that usually don't grow in until long after the rest of the teeth, and, for some people, they never grow in at all. When they do come in, for some people it's not a problem, because they have room. Some people have smaller mouths though, and for them, when the wisdom teeth come in, they do a couple things. One, they shove your other teeth around, which leads to agonizing toothaches, and sometimes crooked teeth. And two, they often get moved around, and come in wrong, anyway, tearing your gums open, leading to potentially disastrous infection. That's what happened with mine, and is why I had to schedule an "emergency" appointment to get them removed. The dentist told me if I didn't get them taken out within just the next few days, the infection could very easily spread to the rest of my mouth, basically rotting my gums, and eating away at my other teeth. Managed to get an apointment with the surgeon less than 24 hours after seeing the dentist, and got put under completely for the operation. One of them had to be shattered, and pulled out piece by piece, and the surgeon actually missed a little chunk of it. I ripped that chunk out myself, in the bathroom at work, like a week later. And it hurt like a b!tch.
