Yep mine are out. One was impacted. Very difficult ordeal. Took about 2 weeks to feel better. The others were pulled easily. Dentist used gas. Didn't feel a thing. Recovery was about 4 days.
After a few weeks, you don't even notice that any teeth are missing. I hope none of your wisdom teeth are impacted... Good Luck.

I had 3 very impacted wisdom teeth surgically removed by an oral surgeon and I had some pain (soreness) the first day. After that I was fine but I was swollen for about 2-3 days. No problems though. Everyone's experience is different but not all are bad so be careful listening to friends' experiences in trying to scare you. Take care and good luck.

I had my top ones taken out a couple years apart from when I had my bottom ones out and had no problem recuperating at all both times -- in fact, I'd say it took just a day to feel better (I even walked home from the dentist's office because my stupid friend didn't come to pick me up). The anesthetic made me a bit loopy, though the first time (I was very emotional), but I would still recommend being heavily medicated and possibly put to sleep. Having the dentist pull your teeth out and listening to that grinding sound is terrible!

I had my wisdom teeth pulled but they were basically all the way out.........i waited way too long and my teeth started to shift because my wisdom teeth came in and my mouth was crowded. My face blew up but by the next day it was no big deal. Get them pulled. I have to wear braces for a year and half now to fix the shifted teeth.

I had my wisdom teeth extracted. If all goes well they heal fairly quickly however, I had what is called a "dry socket". What that means is the blood clot that forms under the gum tissue comes out. It is very painful so if you have recently had them extracted follow all of the instructions given especially do not use straws.

Ive had all mine out. The last one took about 2 months to totally heal (as in the hole to heal up). The pain lasted for about a week. Wasn't bad after the first few days. xx

Hey, I had the gas when I got all 4 of my teeth taken out and all of them were impacted. It took about 2 weeks until I could really eat anything I wanted without feeling anything. Yet, my stitches took forever to disolve and fall out.... like maybe a month?

I've had my 2 top ones out, the last one i had taken out march 05 and it took it about 6-9 months to totally close over. I think it really depends on the person, we all heal at different rates.

I had my top 2 pulled a week before Christmas and came home and put the tree up and decorated. My bottom two were impacted but I still felt ok about 2 days later. It's not too bad.

Bottomtook 3 weeks and a whole lot of pain/swelling. Top took 2 weeks w/ not al ot of pain/swelling. Hope this helps. But it also depends on if they have already erupted or if the doctor has to break the jaw bone to get them out or not.
