    Had two wisdom teeth cut out when I was 25. Dentist has golf clubs by door when I get there on a Friday afternoon. I get novacaned up and first shot dont do it. So he gives me another shot of it. 30 min later I have two wisdom teeth out , stictched up gums, and I am standing at the counter waiting to pay. Receptionist gives me pain pills and I ask .. how much do I owe. Dentist is starting out the door and says... Oh.. how does $40 bucks sound? I told him I would smile but it would hurt.. Not bad for 2 teeth cut out.

    Had all 4 pulled while stationed at Fairchild AFB in the mid-70's. An IV of Demerol, and I wasn't feelin' a thing---just had that illegal grin on my face. Mine were straight, but I was getting infections of gum in that area. The dentist broke each tooth---split it right down the middle, and they rolled out like puppies---prolly took an hour to do all 4.
    Then it was off to the barracks with a pill-bottle full of Darvocets and a couple of bottles of TJ Swan and I felt nothing for 3 days.

    I've had 4 wisdom teeth out and one besides, a molar. The molar was with just novicane and even though I THOUGHT I was numb as can be, he started pulling and OH MAMA! Yow! Root went right up against a sinus boy did that hurt!

    Then I had the wisdom teeth out at age 20 (about 2 years after the molar) and had oral surgery with full knock out juice- and good thing, as he had to cut some bone.

    Nonetheless having had 5 surgeries in my life, the wisdom tooth one was no problem. He gave me some mildly strong painkillers for the first day or two, after that Tylenol for 2 days, after that the holes just tickled; but be sure to flush them out with a gentle syringing daily until the holes close.
