Had mine taken out, needles going in to kill the pain was fine. Cutting open my gums was fine. But feeling him cracking my teeth to get to the roots

Having hands in my mouth trying to pull them out.

I went to an oral surgeon around my sophomore or junior year of high school and got them all removed.

I remember my mouth swollen up and I missed several days of school. They put me on this medication that didn’t do shyt but make me sleep for hours at a time. I quickly stopped taking that shyt.

I’d pop one of the pills and be out 5-6 hours. I didn’t like that. I was back on solid food after a couple days, but I wasn’t fully back to myself until about 5-6 days later.

Had mine taken out all at once shortly before i turned 18. They told me the common issues with having wisdom teeth and offered to get it out the way because it was free with medicaid so i was like fuk it. I think they said the procedure would've been like 3800

Nope. Had braces and it opened up space for them, so never had to get them removed.

i only had 3 wisdom teeth, had them all removed at the same time, really don't know why as they weren't impacting anything. anyway, i had no pain at all and went clubbing the next night. don't know if i had a master dentist or the perfect setup for removal, but given how everyone talks about it, i expected to be down bad.

I was in the same boat the OP was in. Had one tooth that had me losing sleep it was so painful. End up getting all four taken out over 10 years ago. Haven't had any major dental issues since.
