This thread make it sound like wisdom tooth removal is some huge surgery. I just had some local anesthesia as the tooth was pulled. Fun cracking sounds in my head, some bleeding from where the tooth was that stopped after an hour or two. But it was pretty quick and I could just go about my day afterwards.
I had all 4 extracted when I was 16, long before they came in. And, yes, it WAS surgery performed by an endodontist. I was sedated for the procedure, and it took several hours for me to recover from the sedation.
There are many different ways that people deal with their wisdom teeth. This is how I dealt with mine.

I had bleeding for hours, and whatever is wrong with my stomach meant an endless cycle of nausea and being waterboarded by my own blood.
