Could having your wisdom teeth pulled hurt?

It should not.: When performed by an experienced dentist, any pain during or afterwards will be minimal.

It depends: Any surgical procedure involves some level of discomfort. The unknown variable is how we perceive and deal with it. Removal of wisdom teeth can be performed with local anesthesia alone or with some type of sedation. With local anesthesia alone, you will feel some pressure and some patients equate pressure to pain. Most sedated patients have minimal or no recall and report no pain with surgery.

Talk to your dentist: They usually will not hurt during the procedure, unless they are extremely infected, in which case the anesthetic may not work as well. Talk to your dentist or oral surgeon and determine if being "asleep" during the procedure would be beneficial. Post operative discomfort is often greater with more difficult extractions (when bone needs to be removed to gain access to the teeth).

PreemptiveAnesthesia: Local anesthesia alone will not provide any type of sedation for your procedure. If you do not want to be awake, talk to your dentist or surgeon for sedation options he or she can provide for you. Ask you surgeon about preemptive anesthesia: block anesthesia using a long-acting anesthetic prior to surgery and medication before and after the surgery to prevent future neuropathic pain.

Not really: Not during if you are properly anaesthetized , and not after if you stay on the proscribed meds. .Good luck.
