The amount of pain varies a lot from person to person, if your teeth are already in, then you probably won't have much of a problem. Most people have pain/bruising because the teeth have to be extracted from below the gumline.
I had all four pulled at once (and they had to dig for a couple of them) and I didn't have any pain or swelling at all (couldn't keep food down for two days after.. but that was because I don't mix well with general anesthetic).
Tell your bf that you plan to go to the party, but won't know for sure that you can until the morning of. Everyone will understand if you can't make it because your mouth hurts.
(Be careful what you eat if you do go of course). |

Don't be a worry wart over this . Uncomfortable,yes and probably a little swollen but on a pain scale of 1-10 ,you'll most certainly be down around 2-3 and easily controlled by medication which you may find you don't even need . |

I wouldn't go. I would spend the weekend at home. I'm sure your bf's dad will understand. Just send along a nice card and gift w/ your bf containing a brief note saying why your sorry you could not attend. You are having oral surgery after all. |

Don't be scared! It's not that bad actually! Take some painkillers, and you'll be fine for the party. My cousin had to go through the same thing, and she had all 4 pulled out. She was dancing to the beat the next day!
Have fun at the party. ^__^ |

You'll be fine. I didn't even need the medicine they gave me. I just used ibprofin. It'll just be sore. And its fun when you first wake up. I actually told the assistant person I was dreaming even though I'm not sure its possible to dream under anesthesia. |

well for me it was nothing, i worried for awhile as well. My roots were straight, well one had a bit of a curve. within a few days i was fine, there was no pain, just a lot of pressure(while they were being pulled), make sure you gargle, and try not to smoke if u do, cuz that could dislodge the clots. I was really lucky, that within a few hours the clots were good, and i had no bruising or swelling..
good luck to u |

Everyone's experience is totally different. Let me know how your's went. By the way..Im sure the Vics will be enough. |

I would say that you will not be up for the party the next day. I had mine out last November, and the day after, I thought I was doing ok, but ended up blacking out in the shower. It was not pretty. You will be in bed for a few days. The pain isn't too bad, they give you medication for that, but the day after the anestesia, you will still be very woozy. |

OK,
First, try to relax. It is going to hurt some but you can help contol that to a degree. The more you can relax the more you can contol the pain.
Your Dentist will probably prescribe pain medication to help with the pain once you come out of Anesthesia.
Also, ice on the outside of your jaw can help reduce pain.
Follow the instructions and everything should be ok.
As far as the party goes, you may have to play that by ear, depending on how much pain you are having to deal with.
But again it's going to be ok.
Best of Luck |

Don't worry thw Vic's will be enough. It really is no big deal. I had to have all four of mine surgically removed and it wasn't to bad. You will be able to go to the party, just remember no drinking through a straw and only soft foods. Also don't bend over at the waist as it could meka your clot sluf off and you will start to bleed again. Mine only hurt the day of so good luck andd god bless. |

I've had mine out and it hurt a little when it was being done but what I did wrong was wait too long to take the pain meds after I got home and the freezing stuff started to wear off. Then the pain was bad! The next day I went to my sister's house for christmas and although my mouth still hurt it wasn't unbearable. I used the syringe to rinse out the holes way more than I had to so I avoided dry socket, which I've heard is nasty. You are not being a big baby. It hurts but you will get through it fine. Best wishes! |

I had all 4 of my wisdom teeth out at the same time. they were impacted. I was SOO scared because I heard some horrible stories....but it wasn't bad at all! I was back to work the next day! They gave my Tylenol with Codeine....that helped, but seriously after a couple days I didn't need them anymore. Good luck! Try not to worry! :) |

On day you get your teeth pulled, the pain is the worst. But it gets a lot better after you wake up the next morning. Kind of feels like a headache. Don't be surprised if you can't eat too many solids, or for that matter, open your mouth more than an inch on the day after you get your teeth pulled. But I think you will be ok to go to the party, if you keep your mind focused on getting better. Think positive during your recovery. |

I've had all 4 of my wisdom teeth extracted, plus surgery on 2 of my teeth that were inside my gums! But there was nothing 2 worry about. I was on laughing gas and when I woke up, everything was fine. There was no soreness or anything. I just had to drink smoothies and shakes for awhile, but I can tell u that there was no pain for me. I'm 17, and I had all of that done when I was 15 or 16. Just take it easy and remain calm. I'm usually not afraid of the dentist and if anything, braces are the worst pain. Having all of that metal shoved in ur mouth is not pretty at all. Wisdom teeth extraction- nothing to worry about. Of course it won't be fun, but u might want 2 take some Ibuprofen (sp?) before the extraction. Good blessings! |

Not so long ago I had my two top ones taken out. Nothing to worry abt. Numbness willl disappear within a couple of hours. the pain should will have reduced by saturday morning, A couple of ipbrophen (mind the spelling) before u go out on saturday should do the trick. Good luck.

DONT WORRY!! I had the same thing happened with me exactly!. When they calll you up for extractions they are going to just give you anesthesia which will be like me pinching you(No biggy!) and then they will do their thing BUT for me the anesthesia was very effective on me so i slept quite a alot after the surgery especially the next day. If you want my advice then that would be to please get a surgery after the party since you are looking forward to it soo much. otherwise i really dont think you would be comfortable @ the party with the opening of the jaw and everything because the pain will be there for atleast 1 week and you will be given pain killers so it would help!( I was given tylenol 3 and they didnt work at all so Motrin worked alot better it is anIbuprofen) there will be a bit of a swelling but within 3 weeks you will be like in heaven. Good Luck and Dont worry at all! |

Don't freak out!!!
My wisdom teeth came in on top and because of cavities that were unreachable they needed to be pulled. That's it. The dentist (who should be a specialist, by the way) Will numb you and pull the teeth. Keep your eyes closed cause the dentist tools alone will freak you out by the sight of them. There was no pain when I had mine done. the voided area feels alittle funny but all in all I was great. No pain, no bad bleeding, nothing like that. You should be fine. |

Painkillers will work fine. If you have any problems tell your dentist. Having mine out wasn't a big deal. |

Everyone is different when it comes to wisdom teeth, but it really isn't that bad.
When you wake up you will be in very little pain, & the dr's (dentist) will give you something immediatly. I would recommend relaxing all friday night & saturday morning... this will be a big help if you want to go out on Saturday night. Follow ALL of the Dr's orders so you do not have any complications.
If you feel up to (which I think you will b/c you are only getting 2 out & they are not impacted).. then go to the party. Just don't take too many pain killers or you will embarress yourself in front of your boyfriends family.
Also.. I do think that Vics will be enough. Try to take with food because they can give you an upset stomach.
Good Luck & Relax.. You will be fine! :) |

DON'T BE SCARED...Wisdom tooth extraction is not painful..you will get your teeth and gum anesthesized,after that you wont feel anything through out the extraction process(except a bit of pressure because anesthesias block all sorts of pain but they dont usually block pressure)so you will feel very very slight pressure(which may well be un-noticable)...by the time you will get your tooth extracted,an anti-inflamatory medicine will be prescribed to you and your anesthesia will wear off in about 2-3 hours so by that time your medicine will start taking its effect and you wont feel any sort of pain(you may feel a bit of discomfort but NO pain)...You will be able to attend the party but probably you would be advised by the dentist not to take solid food,so the only problem you could have is that you wont be able to take very solid food(because the extraction site is supposed to be kept clean for 1-2 days and wound is given time to heal) besides everythings going to be absolutely fine.. |

It's not as bad as you think!! I had my bottom ones taken out a few years ago. They numb you up good and it takes a few seconds for the tooth to be pulled. As long as you follow the aftercare instructions, you should be able to go to the party. Be brave & good luck. I had 2 rootcanals done a few weeks ago & they were a piece of cake, just took forever. |

Hmm since they are through that wont be to bad. And since they have cavities the roots will be weaker. I am guessing that there will be some swelling but you will more than likely be able to go to your party. |

I had all 4 out at once and there was no pain. Everyone is probably different, but I wouldn't worry about it too much! Some ppl bruise and swell up, but I had hardly any swelling and no bruising (even though I tend to bruise easily). You might not be in the best spirits to go to the party the next day, but you should be fine. You won't be able to eat much though. Until you heal a bit you'll probably want to eat soup or really soft foods. Oh, when I woke up from the anesthesia it was like I had been asleep for 2 minutes and it hardly felt like they had done anything if it weren't for the big pieces of gauze in my mouth. I would say that's the worst part to go through, having to keep that gauze in your mouth ~ it just feels weird. It's a good idea to rinse with salt water/saline every chance you get as that cleans out the incisions and helps them heal quicker. I found it helped me a lot. You might want to bring some with you to the party so you can rinse out any food particles etc. |

I has mine taken out WITHOUT being put to sleep. Trust me, the Doc will numb your gums and jaw and all you will feel is pressure. Like pushing hard on your teeth. Next thing you know out come the teeth. They gave my Tylenol with codine and I didnt even use them. |

Girlfriend,
I understand your fear. I was there few months ago. I'm going to be honest with you. I got all my four wisdom teeth sugerically removed. I was put under anesthesia too. It was scary to go under the procedure. Your mouth really swells up and the first night you don't feel the pain as much until you wake up the next morning. I was in constant pain for 2 weeks (which slowly weared off) I had to take antibiotics to prevent infections and pain killers. Moreover, I DID NOT eat anything solid for the first 2 weeks, I probably really started eating after 4 weeks. Even then you mouth will bleed if you talk too much, walk around too much, eat something too hard. You have to be real careful in your choice of food. I say soup and yogurt is the way to go, broth based soups. (Nice way to loose some weight too! I did)
You can goto the party, just don't eat! You might be zoned out due to the medication. So I would advise that you stay home. Your mouth will be swollen too.
Just think of your recovery, who care about the party. If you don't take care of yourself you can end up with an infection in your gums and then have to go through the whole procedure again. If you DONT wash your mouth out properly and frequently, food can get stuck back there and cause infection, thus you'd have to get your gums cut into! And you dont want that. Also, make sure you wash your mouth out with salt water CONSTANTLY throughout the weeks of your recovery.
Everyone told me it was nothing. But I hated it and I am so happy I got all four out at one time. I just want to be honest....Don't go in scared, because remember recovery is based on your attitude towards it. If you tell yourself you'll pull through your recovery will be even quicker and better!
So just chill........get them out and you have less headache and toothaches to deal with!! |

If your extraction goes anything like mine, you'll be just fine for the party. Mine took the doc about 45 minutes to give me the anesthetic and remove all 4, and wake me up, too. I went home, slept off the drugs, and was fine in about 24 hours. I expected it to be worse than it was, and I'm sure you will too. |
