I had mine out-all four, even though only two actually needed to come out. Anyway-I got a choice of sedation or general anaesthesia. I chose to go under, no sedation for me. Was out like a light, seemed like 10 seconds later I was waking up.
I was scheduled for a dental cleaning that day but my mother called up and canceled and they told her not to let me have the prescription painkillers (percs I think) but to stick to OTC meds. I was awake and dizzy with the pain until one of my friends told me to take the percs. After that, all was good. Never listen to your dentist's office, only your oral surgeon.
Also I lived on mashed potatoes the entire week and slept on the couch because I hurt too much to lie in bed. The couch was just right.
Some people need their wound sites rinsed out at the next checkup-however, be aware, the mouth is the fastest healing place in your body. They looked at my mouth and said it was perfect.
So-take the painkillers they give you, load up on mashed potatoes and ice cream, lie on the couch and watch tv (rent DVDs!), do your salt-water rinses and do nothing they told you not to. Also, go with the general anaesthesia-then you're guaranteed not to remember a thing.
