I got mine out in april. It sucked. I had four impacted ones that the doctor told me were about an 8/10 in difficulty. It took about 45 minutes and I woke up from the anesthesia about 1/2 way through them chiseling one of the teeth. 2nd only to a corneal ulcer in pain.

The recovery time for me was a little longer. I did it on a thursday, went back to work on a tuesday. I didnt stop bleeding till saturday, and couldn't eat anything at all until sunday. Thank god I had all 4 done at once, cause I never would have gone back if I had 2 done at a time. The one thing that sucks in my case is that even now, the right side of my tongue/cheek still has some numbness. They hit a nerve as they were doing it. It took about a month before even a little feeling came back.

The drugs were pretty good. They gave me oxycodone which has a pretty good kick. I had to stop using them after a while because I was feeling waaay too high.

Keep checking those holes though. You wouldn't believe how much food gets stuck in those.
