I had all 4 of mine out last year. I was sound as a pound once the novacaine wore off. I didnt need any pain killers.

So are you saying that if they've already broken through the gums, it's supposed to hurt a lot more? I'm getting worried because I have one already halfway grown, and haven't been to the dentist in awhile.
Oh, i didnt understand you. Mine were FULLY grown in. Basically, the earlier you get them out, the less pain/complications. Because if wait until they've grown in, the roots are into the jawbone and sometimes they will grown in sideways and become impacted.
I was lucky considering all 4 of my wisdoms were fully grown in and none of them were impacted and came out with no problem.

I had one pulled because of a cavity and they wound up having to hit me with 10x the normal amount of novocaine and then had to break the tooth into several pieces to get it.
Then I got drysocket.
Long roots suck.
