I'm getting my top 2 and bottom 1 (I dont have the other bottom one) wisdom teeth out on December 19th. 2 have broken the skin and the other hasn't. What should I expect during the surgery, and do you think I will feel ok come christmas?
I'm 18
Thanks

you will be fine. the extraction will only take about a half hour. the oral surgeon will probably prescribe some vicodin for pain. the healing process will be 7-14days but the pain should subside within 24-48 hours after the extraction.

I had all four of mine pulled yesterday morning. I was really sore yesterday, thank god for painkillers. The dentist gave me loratab. I was slightly sore this morning but nothing like yesterday. You should be okay by Christmas. I feel like I'm going to be okay by tomorrow. I was worried about if I was going to be able to eat Thankgiving dinner, but I think I can eat what I want now. I will probably avoid crunchy foods like chips and such for a few more days though. The bottom teeth usually take a little more effort to come out than the top ones. Both of the top ones came out in about 1 min. I had mine extracted in the office while awake, and besides some pressure I didn't feel a thing. Good luck.

I think you'll be fine by Christmas. You might still have some swelling or bruising by Christmas, maybe even a little bit of pain or soreness where the wisdom teeth used to be, but other than that...

You'll be fine. Just get and take the pain killer medication. If you don't, you're gonna feel like you died and went to hell.
