So I just got back from having my wisdom teeth out. All four. On was out and the other three were impacted. Luckily, they were upright and just below my gums. Doesn't suck as bad as I thought it would.

Who else has had them out? Bad experiences?

I got mine out in high school. It was actually pretty pain free, overall.

I had mine taken out last summer.  Didnt really have any problems except for right after my surgery my mouth was numb so I kept drooling.  Other then that I didnt have any pain except for when I was eating because they were sensitive.

Doc's didnt give me enough painkiller after they put me out, woke up in the middle of it, and then the lady at the walmart pharmacy stole my first batch of pills (told me mom not to go to walmart), so I spent two days with no pain killers after getting all four out. Didnt get dry socket, that was the only lucky part I had.

All four of mine were impacted sideways so they needed to be sectioned and removed. They gave me a relatively small amount of painkillers and I didn't even take all of them, non the less, the bottle disappeared. When my sis got hers out they were all upright, they gave her 4X as many pills as they did for me, and she ended up with quite a problem for a while. Apparently if you're freaky-looking they'll give you more meds. I suspect a lot of people in the medical and dental field are there to score drugs and are pretty sympathetic to other scew ups.

Haven't had to have mine pulled yet.

I go to the dentist on Friday for a checkup so we'll see.

You got that right. I found my parents stash of painkillers from old surgeries and whatnot. Probably had about 50 vicoden, and some codeine (Tylenol 4).
Sold it for a nice chunk of cash and some beer, and they still don't know they're gone 2 years later. They must think they threm 'em away or something.

I'm hoping I won't have to get my wisdom teeth out. I've got a pretty wide jaw.

I get mine taken out in 3 days.  All four of them, which are all right below the gums; two of them are impacted.

I had them out, not a bad experience at all.  Pain isn't a huge issue for me though it seems.

Got some oxycodone for it though.

Had mine taken out 3 years ago.  Wasn't fun but it didn't really hurt. 

I always hear people crying "O noes I have to get my wisdom teeth out" and I never understand why, they hook you up with pain killers and you sleep for a few days, big deal?

 

^ that wasn't meant towards you, just at all the nubs that complain about it 5 months in advance.
