It really is different for everyone. Some people are fine, others like myself have a crappy experience. My teeth were really impacted and so I had more pain and swelling afterwards. I also had two dry sockets, which is where the holes from the extracted teeth don't close up where theres nerves exposed and food tends gets trapped. Not to mention it hurts like shit to chew. The doctor had to put medicated gauze in the sockets and it had to be changed every week so I was going to the dentist the whole summer. Make sure you have somebody to take care of you afterwards. Your gonna be in a lot of pain and will need someone to whine and listen to you. Heres a link, incase you wanna read about it. The dry sockets are really common and it might happen to you.
that sounds so painful, yikes. i'm planning on being in a vicodin booze for most of next week. i'll only really have two (maybe just one) days with someone here, and other than that i'll be alone almost all of the time. i'll probably nearly starve or bleed to death in my bed, but it won't matter on the vicodin. ;) and sorry your surgery didn't go spectacularly (some people get really lucky) but at least it's over with and not something you ever have to do again :)
I had mine out too, and frankly I don't remember it being terribly painful afterward..maybe a bit achy, but it heals fast 'cause it's in the mouth. I did had holes for a few weeks afterwards and don't eat rice or anything during this time 'cause it just LOVES to get wedged in there, and the only way to get the buggers out is to use a toothpick or something similar, and it can be quite tender! *squirms*
Not sure what they gave me but it was a shot, and I was out in like 2 seconds, literally..I didn't remember a THING except a vague memory of someone saying "time to wake up honey". lmao, and after waking,while I was lying in the recovery room I saw a guy in a greaky zombie state, being walked by a nurse, and I knew I must have looked just as retarded :P lol
I'm sure you'll be fine, don't worry! and if you get molested (yes I wondered about this too!), at least you won't remember it no? *heehee, I can't go to the dentist anymore without thinking of Seinfeld*
