I got my wisdom teeth out a couple years ago and it is definitely no problem at all. It hardly hurt and my face didn't swell much at all. Just remember to keep ice on it a lot. Strap ice packs on your face if you need to. I only had to take the pain medication for 1 day after I had the surgery. It didn't hurt at all. I'm sure you'll do fine.
Hmmmm, that's a coincidence because I too am a stickler for oral hygiene and yet I have this one cavity that doesn;t want to give up, the little bugger just keeps getting slightly bigger every time I go to the dentist. Even though I brush extra long in that area. Oh well, good thing it's in the back. The only thing I'm worried about is if the filling falls out while I'm talking to someone and I end up spitting it in their face...
At least you'll be asleep for the surgery. I had to stay awake for my frenumectomy. Therefore, despite the Novocaine, I was aware of everything that was going on. How he slooooooowly scraped away at the flesh of my gums and then proceeded to drill away a bit of the bone of my top jaw. [Shudder]
All 4 of my wisdom teeth were impacted. And before I got braces, I had 6 teeth pulled, 4 of which were permanent teeth because apparently I'm a freak who would've naturally had like 42 teeth if nothing had been done.
They better be giving you real anesthesia though, like the needle-in-your-arm-you're-never-waking-up kind. Because laughing gas does not work. You can still feel them pulling those fuckers, and its not a good thing.
You see, my dear, this whole teeth thing just goes along with my theory that you're really supposed to be like, 6 feet tall. (See: "excessive/large body parts") <4!!
i'm 6 and a ahlf feet tall and i didn't have any more teeth than is normal (but i did have my wisdom teeth taken out.. not because they were too big but because they were growing in at bad angles or some crap)
What's wrong with all you guys? I get to keep all 32 of my teeth. And just a little advice for you Lauren: Remember to sex up the dentist a little because otherwise they purposefully fuck that shit up just to get a little amusement out of their day. Seriously, the last time I went I was only a little 'curteous' (read: no BJ) and he gassed me and sawed off my arms ... it was not cool.

That probably didn't help much. Oh well.
