Answer 1

Thanks for asking. My family story just will not go away. It answers your question perfectly, though.

I removed two of my older daughter's wisdom teeth at 2:00 in the afternoon and told her to go home and lie down until dinner time. Before I got home, she had already left for the mall! I was rather angry, because I figured that she'd be moaning all night long and asking me what to do for the pain. Much to my happy surprise, she seemed just fine. She said that she waited until the numbness started to go away and she felt pretty good, so she decided to get up and go.

Same thing with my son. We were actually headed home from a drum lesson and he asked if we could stop in the office to check out the sore place in his mouth. It turned out to be an erupting wisdom tooth. He asked if I felt like taking it out right then, so I did. (I was afraid he might change his mind if he thought about it overnight.) His mom didn't even know he had a wisdom tooth taken out until he had to take the gauze out of his mouth to eat dinner. His uppers were both kind of difficult and he had trouble healing with one of them (sinus involvement), but that didn't last for more than 3 or 4 days.

With my third child, I took her to the oral surgeon, because the roots were sort of close to the nerve and _I_ didn't want to be the one to cause her any trouble if things got difficult. She had nitrous oxide and little bit of iv sedation and had all four removed at once. I wanted to get her right home, but she asked me to stop off at the mall before we went home. She insisted that she was okay. Instead of going home and lying down, she walked through the mall. Yes, she was biting on her gauze packs (in the mall!), but still she was a lot more active than I would recommend. She had no trouble at all healing. I think she went out that night, too. (It was 1999, so I don't remember the details.)

I'm not saying that they are ALL like this, but there are wisdom teeth and then there are w*!`S^D@m TEETH!!! I always say that wisdom teeth (and root canals, by the way) are like teenagers. At least 90% are no trouble at all, but everybody talks about the bad ones.

It won't hurt to have the extraction, However the aftermath of having tooth removed is bad. I don't want to scare you , but I don't want to say it won't hurt when it will! Mu husband and daughter had theirs done. Each was going to go right back to work the next day, too say they were wiped out is and understatement. It really takes a lot out of you!, Just do as the Dentist says regarding your medicine. Take it easy for a couple of days. And you will be just fine. Too let it go would really be painful, not too mention the complications that can arise. So get it taken care of and Good Luck to you!

Answer 6

You should expect some pain whenever you have a major surgery done (extractions included, you are removing part of your body), but some people don't experience any pain. Also upper teeth are usually easier to extract, so usually they have less pain than lower extractions. If you don't feel any pain, consider yourself one of the lucky ones.

Answer 7

I just had my upper wisdom teeth removed 48 hours ago and I have had ZERO pain, not even a dull ache, like the surgery never happened. I took no drugs during the surgery or after. I had the bottom ones taken out over ten years ago, and that was similarly unmemorable.

Answer 8

When I had my wisdom teeth removed I even had to have part of the bone removed as well. I had stiches and very deep holes in my jaw, and I swear, it didn't hurt very much at all. Maybe just a dull ache, but plain aspirin took care of it.... good luck
