Answer 1

Are you being put under or will you be awake?

I was awake for mine.  It was 4 hours to remove 3, one impacted.  The worst part was the dentist's description of the procedure.  He decided to inform me that he 'filleted' my gums in order to remove the tooth.  He had to rest his knee on my chest to remove the impacted tooth.  I didn't feel anything except for that knee on my chest.  Afterwards, I was ok.  I survived on ibuprofen.  I tried to eat some potato soup later in the day and that hurt more than the whole thing!

You'll be ok but don't smoke.  The dentist should inform you of that.  

Answer 2

I've been through it & it,s very painful. but the dentist will give u something for the pain. I,m a smoker also & you can,t smoke afterward because the blood won't clot & you'll end going back to the dentist for him to repack it.

Answer 3

I have!! I was sore for days I'll be honest, but it didn't gurt that much when they pulled out the wisdom teeth don't worry. IT WON'T HURT.

Answer 5

Answer 6

i have had mine out and I too am a smoker.  I thought i could have a smoke but as your face is so numb it is hard and you slobber all over the butt.  It also makes you very dizzy as the nicotine is going straight into your bloodstream through the open wound.

If you must smoke after make sure you are sitting down, but best to give it a miss for as long as you can.

good luck with the dentist
