I just had mine out a few weeks ago, and it wasn't as bad as I was expecting. I was very nervous, so my dentist gave me some of that laughing gas a little before putting me to sleep with the IV. In 2 seconds, I was gone. All I remember is 3 people helping me out to the car, and my parents got me ice cream on the way home. I slept most of the day, and the painkillers the dentist gave me made me sleep even more. I was eating jello and ice cream that night, so it wasn't too bad. My face was swollen for over a week, but it eventually went away. The pain wasn't a lot of fun; the swelling just made it worse. But I've talked to a few of my friends who had little to no swelling, so it just depends on the situation. People react to the pain medication in different ways; it only made me sleepy, but it made some of my friends sick. Hopefully you handle it pretty well. Good luck!!!
