Audrey, if all 4 of your wisdom teeth need to be removed, go ahead and get them all done at the same time. I had all 4 of mine taken out April 2002.

Don't mean to scare you, but they hurt like heck when it was all done! My face was blue and swolen like a chipmunk for a whole week. I was out of work that week and lived on Strawberry smoothies and water! When I wasn't on pain killer, the pain was too much. But those pain killer knocked me out. My oral surgeon said he didn't have to put me under but highly recomended it. I took it! Don't think I wanted to be awake for it.

On the other hand, my brother's girlfriend and many other people I know had their taken out and no problems with the. Guess it just depends on how your body handles pain and how fast you heal!!
