I had all 4 out in November.

It was surprisingly easy, the first 5 seconds after waking up off anesthesia were trippy as hell, but I hopped right up and headed home, with no pain, no headache, nothing. The bleeding stopped in about half an hour and I was fine for eating soft foods and drinking that day. I ate easier things to chew the next day, and 2 days after the procedure I was eating everything again. There was barely any swelling at all, at least no one noticed.

I did, however, get an infection a week later. It didn't hurt as much as it was annoying. It's quite unexpected too...it just starts feeling bigger and at night it swells up pretty bad. It was feeling really wierd and knew it was infected so went back, waited an insufferably long time (not because of the pain...because of the damn long wait period...ugh). He came in, opened a small cut and squeezed the HELL outta my face...it hurt like crazy, by the way. It was fine in a couple days on some prescription pills.
