How much does it hurt to get wisdom teeth removed?

Depends: Impacted wisdom teeth may require bone removal and sectioning, especially if near the nerve tract. Using general anesthesia usually makes the procedure more comfortable and less memorable.

None at all: When the teeth are removed, there is no pain as you will be anesthetized. Afterward, there may be some discomfort if bone is surgically removed and has to heal. A simple extraction is similar to the pain from a cut on the bosy.

Depends: Pain perception and how it is handled varies from individual to individual. Some patients have four extremely difficult impacted teeth removed, take very little pain medication and have an uneventful recovery. Another patient may have a simple extraction of a single tooth, require several days of strong pain medications and several days to recover.

Depends: There probably will be some discomfort for a few days. However, pain medications can get you through this time period.
