I had a different experience than most.

I make no bones about it. I'm a wimp through and true. However, wisdom teeth were no problem.

Top two were taken out at separate times. The dentist froze my jaw and pulled them in his chair. He didn't do both at once as it would have meant freezing my entire mouth, which would have left it practically unusable the rat of the day. The first time I was at the movies eating a pretzel that night. No issues with either.

Because one of my bottom wisdom teeth didn't come in all the way it needed to be surgically removed, so the oral surgeon did my bottom two at once.

IV sedation was cool. The doctor gave me he sedat action medication, I consciously tried to fight it as long as I could. But, I felt no difference to the point I asked the doctor how long it usually takes to kick in, he grinds and then I woke up. No idea I'd he answered me or not.

I was woozy after I woke up but after a nap I was good to go. In fact, that night I was at a campfire at my buddy's cottage.

People go on about how bad it is. It's not. Nothing to worry about.

But like someone said above don't drink out of a straw. Your blood clots may come out, which apparently is quite bad.
