Impacted Wisdom Teeth?? HELP?!

Impacted Wisdom Teeth?? HELP?

My doctor told me about 3 months ago that my wisdom teeth are impacted, after looking at a sinus x-ray. She didn't make it seem that bad, so I have been waiting to get it done until the end of the summer. They started swelling and hurting Very bad so I finally went to the Dentist who said they are all underneath bone and I need to do it as soon as possible. Is that how all impacted wisdom teeth are? (Under bone) Just how bad is this surgery going to be? I took a week off of work next week, he said I should be okay after 4 days after the surgery. I thought I was going to be sedated, but he said I will be mostly awake, just how much pain can you feel this way? I am mostly nervous about being awake. I was awake through a minor sugery one time and it was a Horrible Experience they said I wouldn't feel a thing but I felt EVERYTHING! Any encouragement from someone who's had this done?? Thanks!

OMG THEY DISLOCATED YOUR JAW???? HOLY S***......... : ( now I'm Really Scared!!!

My Husband had all four of his impacted wisdom teeth removed by a Maxillofacial Surgeon. They are the true professionals. They will make incisions and not try to pop it out of your mouth like the idiot Dentist the Woman above me had LOL He recommended he take a few days off work -I'm not going to lie to you-it was not a walk in the park but they give you strong pain pills that make you sleep and you obviously cannot eat solid foods or drink through a straw for a while but it also wasn't the horror show the person above me experienced. My advice to you is to go to a specialist, preferably one who will sedate you either by pills or laughing gas or have an anaesthetist on hand. Even better if the Dentist has a partner or two sharing the office building so if he/she get in over their heads they can have access to help. There are a few Family Dentists who may try this for the experience but don't be their Guinea pig-leave it to a professional and I assure you-you will be okay!!
