Just happened to me cruising journals and seen your question.

Dr. Tayapongsak (sp)? located on the Westside. He is an Asian man. Obviously you can tell that by the name lol. Anyway, he is an actual oral surgeon and is seriously the best ever. He is covered under almost all dental plans and even if your insurance won't cover nitrous he will give it to you anyway because he is good like that plus he won't charge you for it.
You should seriously call and check him out. He treats all of his patients as if they are his own child. He speaks very good English and is just fabulous if you really don't want to feel like you're in an oral surgeons chair. I have had 5 teeth taken out by him, I would never go to anyone else. He removed all of my wisdom teeth and one eye tooth. Suggested by my orthodontist since I have invisa-line, some of my teeth needed to be able to move because of the over crowding I had from my wisdom teeth plus my one eye tooth on the left side. He will give you a prescription for Percocets a week before your surgery as well so you can take two before you even go into the office then he will administer Valuim to calm your nerves once you are in the office. He will do two wisdom teeth at a time on the same side of your mouth so you can still eat with the other side of your mouth. Then two weeks later you will go back to have the other side done. Technically, that is the BEST way to have them done because if they pull them all at once (which some dentist/oral surgeons will do for the extra money they can receive for it) you have a very high chance of getting dry socket not to mention you wouldn't be able to eat solid food for approximately two weeks if all of the wisdom teeth are pulled at once. So, make sure that you research who ever you go to out because they won't care if you are dying from the pain or not as long as they get paid. That is why I suggest you checking the surgeon I recommended out first. =]

PS. Get them ALL taken out or you will just end up being in severe pain later when you could have it all done and over with. Trust me on that one I learned the hard way.
