Wisdom Teeth.
I'm getting my wisdom teeth out next monday. I wasn't worried about it much until today because today was the day I scheduled it. I need to get them out before school starts, so this was the best appt to get. I'm not sure what it'll be like though. They said I have a 'bony impaction' or something like that, and the sheet I got says I have to wear short sleeves for an IV. I really have never had an IV before & I think they seem like they'd hurt a LOT. Basically, if you've had your wisdom teeth out, what was it like / did it hurt a lot?
Thank you so much in advance.

I never had an IV before until that surgery. It doesn't hurt as bad as you think. The needle is very tiny, just don't look at it or you'll be nervous.
Well, I was asleep most of the time. I wouldn't do laughing gas.. I woke up a bit dizzy and completely numb. So if you feel the same way, then you MUST cram in any solid foods you'll like.. because you'll have a week of liquid, soft foods.
Make sure to take your medicine because you'll need it. Of course it hurts and your cheeks will swell up. You can ice your cheeks. It's going to throb and it's going to hurt when you try to open your mouth just a little. So buy lots of soup. You need to eat as much as you can.
If you get the medicine, you'll probably get attached to it pretty quick. If you take it, then you're okay. It hurt a lot for me because I had to have 4 of my wisdom teeth taken out.
Experiences are different for everyone. But it's going to be sore.

I had all of mine taken out in surgery, before they had broken through the gums/ It was a horrible experience to be honest, as they had to stitch up my mouth where the holes were and I had trouble eating/talking for about a week after.
Mine was a worst case scenario pretty much, but generally having your Wisdom teeth removed is not a pleasant experience, moreso when they're not cut through properly yet.
