Its not too awful bad. I've had mine pulled before when I was in high school. You probably won't be up to eating very much. Sometimes it depends on if they do one side at a time. I don't know how many you have to get pulled. I would recommend just one side at a time only. The hardest part is to make you numb. I don't know how they will do that. Maybe gas or injection? Not trying to scare you. You'll be sore afterwards; but ice cream will be possibly a Great Treat!

it shouldnt be bad all my friends had it done and they were up and talking and eating like normal in a day. it will be a little painful but not so bad. Do u have a high pain tolerence? Then it will be a breeze. dont be scared. Good Luck!! By the way they are going to give u medicine to stop infection take IT ALL if you dont you will be more prone to getting a worse infection.

Not to scare you, but that was the worst experience of my life!!! I have a small mouth though and they had to break the tooth into pieces to get it out (obviously when i was knocked out), I woke up and I was fine, put on ice 24/7 and everything, but my cheeks still got puffy! Also i felt like crap for dayysss and I couldnt eat anything because it hurt ughh. Seriously i didnt eat real food for like 5 days. And my cheeks bruised and turned yellow/green.. it was horrible, it supposedly happens to fair-skinned ppl.
BUT it all depends on the person cause i have a friend who ate ribs the same day =-P. His stitches got all ripped out though, eww lol.
Anyways good luck dont be too scared cause youre gonna have to get it done no matter what =)

I got mine done under a general anesthetic so I felt nothing at the time. It was a little sore for a couple of days, then one got infected and my mouth tastes like rotten meat. About a week after they got pulled I woke up one morning and my eyes were black as well as all around my jaw. But I've known people who have had no pain and bruising

Prepare to eat apple sauce for a couple days and you might get some medicine that makes your stomach hurt like a ***** but you won't even be able to tell the teeth are out.

it is not bad...with a deep and effective local anesthesia you wont feel any thing...all the side effects of pulling the wisdom tooth is due to wrong dental procedure of course some times becasue of the truma that the regional tissue suffers there are some symptoms which are noy anything importnat....good luck

It's not that bad ,if you are Lucky you will get a good dentist that is gentle.O- it also depends on how high your tolerance is to pain.If you have a low tolerance to pain make sure you have a lot of pain killers. I HOPE IT DOESN'T HURT YOU THAT BAD GOOD LUCK ; - )
