I had all 4 of mine removed (2 partially impacted) on a Friday morning in June 2005 and like most people, I expected it to be much worse than it was. I remember being given the anesthesia and for a few seconds thinking that it wasn't working...the next thing I remember was the surgeon saying, "OK...We're all done." The pain was moderate and my face was swollen, but it was far from the debilitating agony that I imagined. In fact, I really didn't even need the Vicodin that I had been prescribed. I think I took one about 2 hours after the procedure and that was it. By that evening, I was drinking a glass of wine and the next day, I installed Sirius in my car and the day after that, I went to see Wilco at Merriweather. Probably the worst part about it was not being able to eat solid foods for a few days afterward.

Just be sure to flush out the socket several times a day and you'll be fine...
