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.

Depends: How you will feel following your surgery will depend upon how your surgery is performed, i.e., local anesthesia alone vs sedated or under general anesthesia. Regardless if you are sedated or not, you will or should be numb in the areas where your teeth were removed.
