I had as good an experience as one can have with wisdom tooth extraction.
Luckily for me, all 4 of mine were/are fully out so its a simple procedue. No cutting, no digging, no drilling no nothing.

All my dentist did was take some tools, apply some pressure to the tooth in a few diff directions, then yank. SHe did this wih me fully awake.

The best thing she did for me was suggest I do one side at a time instead of all 4 at once...so I agreed. She took out the two on the left side without any pain whatsoever and it took all of 10 minutes. I'm glad I did just one side first because that same night I was eating normal food. Doing one side only allowed me to chew on normal food on the other side. I didnt have any swelling or anything at all, no pain, no nothing...business as usual once the numbness went down a few hours later. Hell I was eating chips that same night. Just make sure you clean your mouth thoroughly after each time you eat and you'll be fine.

Just so happens I'm going in tomorrow to get the other two removed...lets hope it goes as smooth as last time.
