I had all four of mine done at once, when I was 24. Two of them were impacted. I was TERRIFIED. I had my mother drive 300 miles to stay with me for a week and watch my son, who was a baby at the time. I had heard horror stories, and I was expecting the worst.

However, I had no problems whatsoever. My jaws were sore for a week or so, but nothing major. In fact, my mom and I went shopping as soon as I left the dentist's office!

I put on headphones and listened to a couple songs. The dentist is tapping me on the shoulder then, I think he needs to ask me something before he really got started ... but he was telling me he was done already!
