Question: How much does getting your wisdom teeth pulled hurt?
Answers:
i just got my wisdom teeth pulled this morning and i was dreading it and thought it would hurt. but to be honest, the worst part is getting the shot to be numb, and that doesn't hurt bad either. the dentist will explain everything to u and tell u wat he/she is doing. afterwards, u wil be sore and tired. just get lots of rest and dont eat anyting crunchy or suck through a straw, no smoking and maintain a liquid diet for about 48 hours. the dentist sould give u anaftercare sheet with do's and donts. good luck!! and dont be scared, u will be ok. i was and im about the biggest baby when it comes to the dentist

It depends on your jawbone and a lot of other factors. Make sure they. Give you novicaine and that your mouth really is numb before they start. Really try to take it easy on your mouth in the days afterward. I ended up getting a dry socket (which is when the blood clot falls out) which led to an infection that was the worst pain I have ever experienced (and I have had two children naturally without painkillers!) I actually had to make an emergency appt with the dentist on a Saturday to get it fixed because there was a terrible pounding feeling from my jaw all the way into my temple, it sucked. Just lots of rest and follow their instructions! This isn't meant to scare you, I also know people who had theirs out, healed properly and were back to work the next day! Good luck!
