How painful are wisdom teeth removals?

You will not feel it: Talk with your dentist or oral surgeon about anesthesia. Many wisdom teeth extraction are done using sedation so you will not feel anything during the procedure. Healing will depend on how difficult the extraction was, surgical or no surgical, the skill of the surgeon and how you as an individual handle things. Typically it takes a few days to heal. The surgeon will prescribe needed meds.

Depends on Teeth: 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 and how you're going to feel. There's no way for you to guess yourself. Just get a consultation and you'll know for sure.

None: You are either numbed up or completely asleep. No pain during the procedure. Pain meds afterwards work well. Make sure you are evaluated and treated by an oral surgeon.
