I had a really terrible experience with my wisdom teeth. Truly. They were not only huge and impacted, but the roots were wrapping themselves around my jawbone, so the teeth had to be broken into pieces to be taken out. The surgery lasted 3 hours. My face was so incredibly swollen and black and blue, I was on steroids for 2 weeks. I lived on vicoden for almost 3 weeks, the pain was so bad and constant, and I normally have a pretty high pain threshhold. I couldn't even bear the thought of eating for at least 2 weeks, and it was almost 3 weeks post-surgery before I ate an actual meal. Every surgery experience is different. :dunno:
