Everyone feels differently about it... but don't plan on eating solid foods for a while. If you don't handle the pain well sleep will be your best friend.

The pain i felt from the extraction of one was like nothing I've felt before. I tried comparing it to "female" pain. Both are intense, but it's like comparing chocolate cake to tulips. Impossible.

My bad experience was due to an evil surgeon. Most surgeons let you take about a half hour to wake up out of the anesthetic. I was only given five minutes and they pretty much shoved me out the back door into an alley. (Besides him having the bedside manner of an angry mother wolverine anyhow.) I can't believe this guy is the "best" and most recommended in our area.

That was for my bottom.

When i had my top out it was extracted by a really nice dentist and i hardly felt a thing. Other than mouth pain for about two weeks.

Oh and that is the other thing... the bottom one removed by the evil surgeon ended up getting dry socket and i was in pain for other a month.

My wish for you is that the person doing your teeth is very nice and well educated!
