?	I had 4 pulled at the same time. Yes, honey. I shall not tell a lie. It did hurt once the pain and numbing drug started to go away. It hurt like a BIG MOFO, but the good news is that you get drugs which helps with the pain... Best of Luck to you! Was this answer helpful to you? Yes / No

Alex	Yes, It's very uncomfortable. I had all 4 removed. It really depends on your pain tolerance actually. My husband had his removed and he was fine without any pain. I on the other hand was in bed for a week drooling. Plus... because of smoking I developed something called a "dry socket" it's when you get a little infection in the area they pulled the wisdom tooth. On the plus side you get great pain killers. Also....If you've ever have bad headaches they recommend you getting them pulled.... becuase wisdome teeth are the cause of most headachs. Hope this helped! Good Luck! Was this answer helpful to you? Yes / No

satingold2005	the only thing that really hurt me was i got dry sockets when i got my wisdom teeth pulled many years ago and hell yes it hurt just do what your told and you should be fine Was this answer helpful to you? Yes / No

shermiegyrl	It's not the most pleasant experience I have ever had. Wisdom teeth have huge, long curving roots. It takes a lot to get those bad boys out. You will feel a great deal of pressure and hear some nasty tearing sounds during the extraction. If you are properly numbed, you should not have any pain. If you do have any pain, stop the dentist at once and tell him. He will give you more numbing medicine. Expect to have pain, soreness and difficulty eating for a few days. Have soft foods and plenty of Advil on hand. Take a day or two off work or school, if you can. Pamper yourself and get lots of rest. Don't smoke or drink through a straw. Don't even try to eat anything spicy. (Trust me on this one!) It isn't horrible, you will live over it. I've had two out, and lived to tell the tale. Was this answer helpful to you? Yes / No

dawneve13	It all depends. I worked as an Oral Surgery Assistent for 20 years and each case is different. I was lucky and worked with some very fine doctors. That's the first step, find a qualified Oral Surgeon. Get several opinions as to what needs to be done and how much it will cost and how the surgery will be performed. Many Oral Surgeons offer the option of being "knocked out" during the procedure if the surgery seems to warrent it or if the patient is extremely anxious about the procedure. Some wisdom teeth, ussually the upper ones, just pop right out. Others require more extensive work. The same with the lowers, however it is much more common for the bottom wisdom teeth to be partially or completely boney impacted. When this is the case then getting local as well as General Anesthesia is ussually the way to go especially for an anxious patient. Afterwards, if you follow the directions given to you and your driver/friend/family member if you get General Anesthesia or what they call "twilight sleep" (a milder form of General Anesthesia), you should do just fine. Make sure you have plenty of ice on hand and take all medication as prescribed by your surgeon. Occasionally a person gets what is called a "dry socket" or an infection. Both of these obstacles can be handled well by revisiting your Dr. and again following his or her directions exactly. Getting any surgery done is never a joyous occasion for which dancing and wine are appropriate. However, if you do the things I've told you then the experience will be far far better than what you are worried about in your head and you'll be done dealing with whatever problems you're currently dealing with due to your wisdom teeth. I hope I was helpful. Good Luck! Was this answer helpful to you? Yes / No

Randy F	No, you have anesthesia...doesn't hurt Was this answer helpful to you? Yes / No

Jen	Not if they put you under like they did me. I just woke up with a ton of gauze in my mouth and a prescription for some pain killers. Was this answer helpful to you? Yes / No

Common Sense	Not really that bad... Was this answer helpful to you? Yes / No

lita ozzy bear	my husband had a wisdom tooth pulled and he said that it didn't hurt. They gave him enough novacaine that it didn't hurt. He had to take Ibuprofen for a few days and then he was fine. Was this answer helpful to you? Yes / No

stowchick01	Not at all...I had all four taken out when I was 18...they tend to knock you out and you wake up with cotton in your mouth and not knowing what's going on. You do get a bunch of drugs and will be swollen. Just listen to them when they say don't eat solids for a few days or use straws and you'll be fine! Was this answer helpful to you? Yes / No

Jordan	It hurts after the numbing agents wear off (or maybe before, depending on how sensitive you are) because there are nerves there sending off all kinds of distress signals to tell your brain you should be feeling pain. Its nature's system of keeping you from doing things that hurt - your body just isn't smart enough to figure out when you're doing something painful for your own good and not. Was this answer helpful to you? Yes / No

King Rao	The Dentist drilled, smashed and vacuumed mine out. No it was fine. Was this answer helpful to you? Yes / No

nightrider	Shouldn't but for some reason when mine were getting pulled the Novicane didn't work, the doc shot me up 5 times and I still felt him pulling. It killed but the pain afterwords is much worse. Get used to the taste of blood, also keep those holes clean afterwords. Don't let pieces of food get into them and rot. eeeewww Was this answer helpful to you? Yes / No

murph's law	I went to an oral surgeon and had mine pulled. HE put me out and i didn't feel a thing. Of course afterward i was sore for a couple of days, which he prescribed pain pills for. GO to a oral surgeon and make your life easier! Was this answer helpful to you? Yes / No

Blah Blah Blah	No, the older you are the worse it is is what I heard. I had mine pulled at 25 and it didn't bother me. The doctor will put you to sleep and you will wake up with no wisdom teeth. He gives you a prescription for pain, (and go get that filled right away!), you go home and take it easy. It's not that bad. The worst part for me was having bruising and swelling for a couple of days even black eyes. I hated it because when I came back to work it looked like I had been beaten up but I didn't suffer that much pain. It's not that bad, really:) Was this answer helpful to you? Yes / No

herbs411_42719	I had a few teeth pulled and gums hurt after numbness wore off. I had 4 wisdom teeth cut out and never hurt any at all. Was this answer helpful to you? Yes / No

I am women	You better believe they do, I dont know what a mo fo fells like but when the pulled my wisdom tooth i thought that they broke the bone in half and that my mouth would be one sided for the rest of my life. Was this answer helpful to you? Yes / No

dumplingmuffin	when i had mine out i only had one out in the end ,as the root was growing into my jaw ,and they pulled for over half an hour,it finally came ut along with some of my jaw bone,i had onlly just had my first child and every time theyasked me if i was ok i kept saying its not as bad as having a baby,when i had the rest of my wisdom teeth out they were xrayed first to see were the roots were Was this answer helpful to you? Yes / No

Inm8#2	Depends. They put you under gas usually, and you wake up really woozy and sore. But when I got my wisdom teeth removed, I didn't swell up in the cheeks like most people do. I went home, slept for 2 hours, and was pretty much okay. It takes about a week for the cuts to heal. It's kind of annoying when food gets stuck in the gum where your wisdom teeth were, but that doesn't last long. Was this answer helpful to you? Yes / No

goof	no they usually knock you out with gas or enough painkiller that it doesn't hurt. i was given nitrous oxide, and after giggling my head off and playfully chewing on the dentists fingers, I was out like a light bulb and didn't wake up until it was time to go. Then I just had to keep changing bloody cotton inserts into my "sockets" (yeah, gross, I know) for a day or so. I guess for a few days it felt a little like I had been in a fight, but I don't remember it hurting too bad, just being numb on painkillers all the time. hope that helps.. Was this answer helpful to you? Yes / No

Tory	I just had a bunch of teeth pulled by the oral surgeon on Wednesday. I was so afraid. They just lay you down on the chair and talk to you, me while I was freaking out. Look at the nurse while the person who puts you to sleep tells you everything he's doing. You will feel a few things a pinch. Then they put a mask of oxygen on you and you breath a few times. Next thing you know youre done. Was this answer helpful to you? Yes / No

europe	yes.after they try to pull the tooth out unsuccessfully then they break the tooth and for me they had th SAW it out of the jawbone. I nearly passed out from the pain afterwards and for at least ten days after i as in soo much pain crying. But on a positive note ther uppers are easier to take out than the lower molars where its deeper in the jaw. Enjoy your dentist trip> Was this answer helpful to you? Yes / No

3m	I had all 4 of mine done at the same time & I can honestly say YES IT DOES!!!! They do put you to sleep, but when they did mine I kept waking up in between & I herd the drills it was totally scary. And the next day & for a about a week later I had bruises on both of my jaws & I wasn't able to eat solid foods for a while. I had a really crappy doctor though. If you haven't had yours done yet I'm sorry if I scared you at all. If its any consulation it doesn't hurt now. Was this answer helpful to you? Yes / No
