I had all four wisdom teeth out at once - under general anaesthetic.  I was at the dental hospital for about 4 hours, then sent home.  You should be able to control the pain with strong painkillers and it will probably last a few days.  I didn't suffer any long term effects. :dance:

I think you should insist on being put to sleep.  You will be much better in the long run as there is nothing worse than toothache. :sad:

You have my sympathies, I had all four out together - all impacted.
The pain whenever I ate was intense to say the least. I was constantly dosed up on Aspro Clear; the only thing that would give me any respite.

Went into hospital to have them removed under a general - deffo my recommendation.
Went in the previous afternoon, op in the morning and out the following dinnertime.
This was when the NHS used to actually work of course, around 30-odd years ago.
Coming around after the GA was just like waking up in the morning, but with your gob full of cotton wool. Mind you I've had some rare nights since, that felt similar in the morning!
Have I got holes in my gums where they took them out? No, you'd never know they'd been removed (and nor did the trainee dentist who gave me a check up some years later and stated that I'd need my Wisdom Teeth out so make an appointment! I did make an appointment, but with another dental practice as even I know you only get one set of those!).
Are my gums numb as a result? No, absolute tosh!
Are bits of bone spat out months after? Well that would depend on the guy doing the work i'd guess. I vaguely recall having a piece of detritus find it's way through the gum a while after but it's natural for the body to reject like that. I recently had a piece of gravel eject itself from my eyebrow 40 years after it went in (I landed face down on the road after doing a handlebar flip on my pushbike!).

All the best with it

Suzuki Sax Girls:
I too am dental phobic, though do go and get em done.  Had my impacted wisdom out in dentist chair by normal dentist, she said she wanted to do it as I was so bad phobic wise and it would be unfair to let a stranger do it.  In went the local, for me thats always the worst part, a bit of pushing an levering sounds bad but wasn't to bad and out it came, hardly any pain after. I have a permanently broken jaw at the mandible joint on one side so pushing down on it can cause problems, but normal dentist was aware and took great care.  Get em out its worth it in the end as no pain and pressure from them once gone.
