Last year on my birthday.

They were growing in sideways. fortunately my job had the dental plan and I paid nothing. Even the prescriptions only cost me $2. Mom recommended only have the bottom two removed. The doctor said all four should go. I was sick of the job, so I used that last benefit to the fullest and removed all 4.
They gave me the anesthesia. It felt like everything slowed down. My body hurt a bit, but then the numbness kicked in, starting from my legs on upward. I was so sedated but I could still hear the doctors talking. What felt like 5-10 minutes to me was actually an hour they said. It didn't hurt with the anesthesia. But I could feel one tooth in particular being yanked.
Afterwards, I had to keep my mouth full of gauze. That night I was so nauseated by the anesthesia, that i could barely eat soup. And i vomited 2 or 3 times. I just wanted to SLEEP! My mouth was still bleeding all over my pillow as I slept. It was disgusting. I wasn't supposed to eat solid food for a few days, but my greedy, brazen ass ate subway the next day anyway...
So glad I got that done. They hurt so much coming in

I've heard worse stories about them being removed though. Probably people who couldn't get the anesthesia.
And my jaws were swollen as heck the new few days. It didn't hurt too much. But it looked awkward.

You wonder how people dealt with this mess before advanced medicine came along to make it easier.
