Still got mine. The only person that wanted me to have them out was one of my dentists...she said it was too hard for her to clean them. Switched dentists.

Your doctor told you not to take Ibuprofen because it can cause gastric bleeding, and you just had a heart transplant.

I got all 4 done at once back when I was like 19...would highly recommend being knocked out for the procedure. I had it easy though man, no impacted ones and i got the good drugs

Vicodin. Couldn't sleep for shit on that stuff though. I actually STARTED smoking during that time. Weird. No joke about dry socket though man, no straws for sure. Just keep the holes clean and you'll be straight. I had BBQ for dinner same night and I didn't look like a chipmunk for the next few days either. Hope you don't either man.

I got all 4 of mine out no problem. There was little to no pain. None of them were impacted or anything so it was easy. I still have the teeth in a drawer somewhere. Like others have said, the hard part is getting used to not having teeth there.
