My wisdom tooth is breaking through my gums and its killing me. I hate dentists and Im terrified. Who has had their teeth taken out? And how long does it take to recover?? Im hoping my cheek doesnt blow up by Tuesday (my e-pics).
I got knocked out and had all 4 taken out at once....I was back to myself in 3 or 4 days :) FH only took 2-3 days :)

PLEASE TAKE THIS ADVICE. Do what they tell you to minimize swelling. Keep ice on it 20 minutes on and 20 minutes off for the FULL 24 hours. It REALLY keeps the swelling almost unrecognizable. The first time I didn't and it swelled SOOOO bad.
A shot of vodka is also known to be a good pain killer!
you sound like me. 3 weeks ago i had two teeth pulled & i was so scared to death i almost gave myself a heart attack (it was my first teeth pulling). it turned out to be totally fine. i felt nothing & healed up in a couple of days. i highly recommend the oral surgeon who did it - FM me if you would like his contact info!!

I had all 4 taken out at the same time and i was fine once i got off the pain killers. i just took advil.
I had 2 impacted and 2 partial impacts plus another tooth pulled at the same time.
It took about 2 days to recover.
What does impacted mean??
