Answers:
I had a wisdom tooth extracted a few years ago, and the procedure itself was not bad because they numb your mouth, and if you're getting valium or laughing gas, you'll be relaxed. You may even be getting IV sedation which will put you to sleep.
The most pain I felt was immediately after the anesthesia wore off because I couldn't take my pain meds right away. And I'll be honest, that pain was pretty bad. But once I was able to take the pain meds, I was fine. I slept a lot for the first couple of days after the extraction, and then I was fine.Health Question & Answer

The first thing to think about is how, after these shots, you will not have any more pain from the extraction!
Your oral surgeon is a pro! He/she knows just how to give a shot that will get you super numb so that you will be pain-free during the extraction. A topical anesthetic will be placed on the gum before the shot. This will help to make the shot... not so terrible!
After you are numb, bring your MP3 player with you and rock out during the extraction. It always helps our patients.
Good luck. You'll be fine. Just remember... once upon a time there was no anesthetic and teeth were extracted au natural! You've got pain meds that will make you pain free! Lucky you.Health Question & Answer

The 5-6 shots of anesthesia feel like little pinches. After that you should be numb. Then they put you to sleep. (It's the best the sleep ever) Then they wake you up and you feel like they just numbed your mouth. It really goes by quick. Don't worry. You'll be fine.Health Question & Answer
