Is having wisdom teeth pulled painful?

I%26#039;m 22 years old and i was told my wisdom teeth are making the front teeth crooked so i must to have them removed as soon as is possible of course by a surgery the problem is that the thought of having a surgery on those four teeth make my whole body shaking. I heard it%26#039;s so painful and since they are at the back of the mouth i guess pulling them is nauseous most of the dentists look like monster in here (Iran) they are not good at thair jobs and the medicine which they inject into the gum in order to make it numb dosen%26#039;t work well first thay crumble the tooth and then...! Anyway i must to overcome my fear somehow i have no choice but to make an appointment. tell me your own experience and give me some confidence i don%26#039;t like to put it off any longer. what would you do if you were me?

Is having wisdom teeth pulled painful?
I have had all of mine out. Three impacted ones were removed under general anaesthetic and when I woke up my chest was really painful, I swear the dentist kneeled on my chest to exert force to pull the teeth, although he said he didn%26#039;t. That was a long, long time ago - 40 years maybe!





The last one was removed by my current dentist and was not painful at all with the usual injections etc. You could ask for nitrous oxide (laughing gas) as a pre-relaxant.

Go for it and good luck. The pain lasts for a little while but it is worth it when your teeth straighten.





Dentists only look like monsters, some are and some are not!
Reply:painful............yes
Reply:I think it depends on how impacted they are.....peole I know have had them out and they were fine and back to work the next day. Some others (myself included) had a hard time with it and was outta work for a week! I was put completely under (instead of local anestesia) and I was sick from that. I threw up all week! It was not a fun week. They give you good pain meds though. You%26#039;ll be fine.....a bit uncomfortable, but fine.
Reply:I had one wisdom tooth removed from the back right side about 7 years ago. Although, I have heard that some people require surgery, I went to a specialist dentist (in the UK). I was offered the option of gas or a pain killing injection in the gum.





I opted for the painkilling injection. As I was concious, I was aware of two people holding my head steady whilst the dentist removed the tooth. As the roots on my tooth were twisted, the job was a little more difficult but I felt no pain at all. However, the sound of the tooth cracking was a little unpleasant.





I went home immediately afterwards and took painkillers before the effects of the painkilling injection wore off. The bleeding was very minimal and I kept a small piece of cotton wool in my mouth. I slept relatively well and had no trouble/pain the next day.





I suffered for over 2 years before having one tooth removed and I%26#039;m really glad I did. If I were you, I would ask my friends, family, work colleagues etc if they know anyone who has had wisdom teeth removed and if they would recommend a particular dentist/hospital.
Reply:in my point of view, to have all wisdoms extraction at the same time is not good...


anyway.. the extraction itself should not be painfull... sometime the place where the anesthesia injected is wrong, that%26#039;s why it don%26#039;t work properly, not because it%26#039;s a bad quality.


go ahead man...
Reply:I had one of my teeth pulled and the dentist says i AM too young for the back wisdom teeth! But yes pulling teeth can hurt especially if you have a dentist who doesn%26#039;t know what he is doing cause he is from a foreigner country
Reply:I just got my wisdom teeth taken out yesterday. And it%26#039;s not hurting me AT ALL right now. They did%26#039;nt give me any pain medicine or anything. They just told me to take 2 ibuprofen, maybe 3. And drink cold things, and if you eat something hot like soup...make sure it%26#039;s not too hot, that will cause it to bleed more. They also told me to put an ice pack on my jaw for 20 minutes every 2 hours, it helps the swelling go down. So far so good. So i would deff. reccomend getting your wisdom teeth pulled. If they are coming in, and you dont get them taken care of, it will cause you to get an absess, and if you don%26#039;t take care of that, the harmful puss in the absess can go down into your heart and kill you. I%26#039;m not lying, i%26#039;m serious. That happened to my friends grandma. So it does%26#039;nt hurt, just take medicine! get them suckers pulled! good luck!
