They've been telling me for years that I should get them out but it's not something I wanted to do. Now I have a cavity next to the one that's growing in crooked that they can't get at so apparently it has to come out and they recommend doing the 4 of them.
Picked up some groceries this morning and plan on living on smoothies, tomato soup and ice cream the next few days.

Had them out yesterday. The sedation was great. I remember laying on the chair and them hooking up the IV and the next second the assistant said I was done. I felt pretty light headed and had wobbly legs for a few hours after.
The surgeon disagreed with my dentist's referral and only took the two that were above the skin. He said if I was younger he would have taken all 4 but since I'm mid 30's the two that didn't come through would be very difficult to remove since the roots were so deep and it would cause me a lot of pain and might cause sinus damage and he saw no reason to put me through that since they were straight.
My face is a bit puffy, have a headache and a little light headed, and still have a bit of blood in my mouth but it wasn't too bad.
