I'm getting my wisdom teeth extracted... What can I expect?


Issue
Will there be a lot of pain? When can I eat? How long will it take to heal? Will they give me good drugs? :) How long before the swelling goes down? Whats the ride home going to be like? Will I be black and blue?

My teeth are pretty impacted... I was told by my dentist that they may have a tough time.

Best Tip
Severe pain, you wont feel like eating for a day or two. Dont know about the healing time. It is different for each person when it comes to swelling. You wont be feeling very well on the way home. YES you should get some good drugs to help. Good luck.

Others
Expect puffy cheeks and lots of pain killers. You'll be doped to the gills for a bit.
Expect a bad day and good luck friend.
lots of pain. get some really good meds. you're going to need them.
it'll probably take about a week before you're back to normal.
Dentist will give you prescription for pain pills, make sure you get them and take them till gone. Should not take but a few days to be okay again.
pain, and to look like you have down syndrom for couple of days
I got my bottom wisdom teeth pulled when I was 12. VERY impacted on the bottom. I was not happy for a week. Being a kid I'm sure made it harder too though.

I got my top ones pulled when I was 21. Piece of cake.

Plan on eating lots of soup and Jello.The worst part about it all is not being able to eat what you want. And if you are a smoker, plan on quitting. Smoking will mess you up.

Tell them you are alergic to Vicodin and you may get something better. =) If they are knocking you out completely, expect to sleep a lot and feel reallllly loopy when you are awake. I didn't get bruises from it, but my cheeks were puffy for a week and a half both times.

Good luck.
