Had to get the bottom ones out as they were half-impacted. The top ones still give me no trouble.
Had local anaesthetic to save on the cost, so I was awake for the process, and dentist had to split them to get them out. The buzzing of the extraction tools ringing through my skull was unnerving, but overall it was not as big a deal as I expected it to be.
There was a little bit of aching during recovery, and the mouth being coated with dried blood after day one was unpleasant, but the worst part was weeks of soft food only. Seemed easy at first, but by the end I was desperate for food that had crunch.
In the years before the extraction, I was getting excruciating nerve pains in my face whenever I got sick (gum infections), so I do NOT regret having them out.
