I got all 4 of mine out at once when I was 16. I THINK my bottom two were starting to become impacted. The memory is a little foggy because of the time past, but I dont remember much pain at all, and I didnt take that many pain killers either.

I got knocked out, though was still vaguely aware of a "tugging" sensation. Woke up with a mouthful of gauze and was generally out of sorts for a couple hours. The gauze and being limited on food was more troublesome than the actual surgery.

Honestly, the worst thing I had happen because of the surgery was going on a trip and forgetting my syringe that was used to clean the incisions. It started to build up pressure and become infected and hurt like a mother. Once I got home, I rinsed it with the syringe and was a-ok after that.

I've been told to make sure I get one of the "syringes". Damnit, why did I have to wait until they became impacted to get them out. No christmas dinner for me.

i asked to be completely asleep for mine and glad i did. the syringe is your best friend in flushing crap out (and there will be crap). diluted listerine is great too. i had pudding, mashed potato, and rice soup for almost 2 weeks and was weak for a long time.

got four of mine out a day before my 17th birthday. awesome gift i must say.
bottom two were impacted. had anesthesia. All i remember of the surgery was the iv needle going in... next thing i remember i was in the recovery room with a mouthful of gauze and then the next i was in my bed.
I remember taking two different pills... not sure what they were.
My mouth didn't swell much. I ate mostly yogurt.
Best part was missing school hah slept for the most part of the day, waking up to a mouthful of blood all the time for about a week.
everybody has a different experience. good luck mate.

my friend had all 4 pulled out and was on novicane. the funny thing was that he used a strapless bra and stuffed it with ice and it was pretty funny to watch.

I still need to get mine pulled out. What do you mean by impacted?
