Varies widely: All your questions should be answered by the dentist actually removing your wisdom teeth. He\she knows you & your situation best. You will be completely numb and not feel anything. Expect some soreness, swelling, bleeding, all which varies depending upon you and the difficulty of the extractions. You will be given a prescription for appropriate pain medication.

Varies: With any surgical procedure there is some degree of discomfort and/or pain. How each person perceives and tolerates discomfort and /or pain varies. Some people have a high pain tolerance and take minimal meds while other patients may say that there is not a pain med strong enough to handle their pain.
