Part of the variance in the wisdom tooth experience is the state of the wisdom tooth roots. If they just basically go straight down or spread a little, it's not that bad an operation. But some people have roots that go down and then curl up again -- like fishhooks. You can guess what those are like to get out. Those are the folks who get the _good_ drugs afterwards.
So my friends tell me. I'm in my 40s and have all 32 teeth; there was space for the wisdom teeth in my jaw. Sometimes being a bigmouth pays off.
