How much does getting your wisdom teeth pulled hurt?

It doesnot: You will be completely numbed before your dentist will perform the extraction surgery, so there is no pain.

Some discomfort: You should not feel any pain during wisdom tooth extraction. The dentist can use nitrous oxide, local anesthetic, or even IV sedation to make it an easy experience for you. After extraction, the dentist will give you a prescription for a few days to ease the pain. You will feel some discomfort for a couple weeks but it should improve gradually daily. It's not as bad as people make it out to be.

It varies: So much in dental treatment depends on the patient, their pain tolerance as well as the type of extraction, ie; bony, or ankylosed. A surgeon's skill, touch & the way they do a surgery. Great hands with a patient who follows all of the home care directions can lead to a very positive result with very little pain. With all the variables, pain could be minimal or could last weeks. Meds can help.

IT depends: On the difficulty of the extractions and the patients tolerance to pain. Every one and every situation is different. Hope this helps.

Usually Not Much: Sometimes it's easy, sometimes it;s a bit more complicated. Depends on the size, angulation, location, and several other factors. Every tooth is different. Every person is different. Your dentist/oral surgeon can predict pretty accurately how it's going to go for you. You will be comfortable during the procedure, and modern pain meds can help you recover without too much drama.

Proper anesthesia : is the key. IV Sedation is a safe and convenient procedure which will allow you to access dental care and surgical dental procedures without being aware or remember of the teeth removal. With the benefits of a little sedation and some local anesthetic, you will find the experience a lot less dramatic than your friends would have you believe. Good luck.
