Wisdom Teeth: Everyone has a different experience, and it's difficult to generalize. Pain is also very subjective and variable from person to person. I encourage you to have a thorough discussion with your oral and maxillofacial surgeon who will alleviate any anxiety about the procedure you may have. The majority of patients get through the procedure just fine. Stay positive.

Depends: Depends. During the procedure you are numb. Sometimes hard to get numb. After, pain meds usually work well. Dry socket can be painful. For best results with wisdom teeth, make sure you are evaluated and treated by a board certified oral & maxillofacial surgeon. Procedure had greater risk of delayed recovery at your age.
