Answers:
i got all my wisdom teeth pulled last month. when i got it pulled i was fully awake. however, my dentist numbed my gums and started pulling them teeth. my top wisdom teeth were the easier ones to get out. my bottom ones were more difficult because it was half way out and sideways. so they had to cut my gum an drill my teeth and take it apart piece by piece. eventually he got it all out. so that's the good news.
as for the pain, your gums will be numb. there will be A LOT of pressure on your bottom wisdom teeth. there was a lot of pressure when my dentist was trying to take mine out.
it depends on how your wisdom teeth is positioned as well. but i think overall, no matter what position their in, you will feel pressure. if you're in pain during the process, tell your dentist. i'm sure he'll give you more numbing solution.
afterwards, they will stuff the area with gauze pads. i didn't really like the gauze pad part. it was gross. then, if needed..your dentist will prescribe meds for the pain. they will also tell or give you a pamphlet on how to take care of gums that will be in the healing process.
listen to your ipod or mp3 player while he's pulling your teeth out. that's what i did. good luck.
