been there and got a very painful t-shirt
Had all 4 out at the same time under anaesthetic, took the surgeon 1.5 hours and his foot on the side of the table to remove one of them
oh.. and once you've had them removed you really won't be able to eat properly at all (soft foods only)... I looked like a hamster for two weeks and felt and looked very bruised..
Ditto. Had all four out at once and 2 were impacted and had to be smashed up to be removed!
I had a very, very swollen face! The pain was fairly bad (but nothing paracetamol + ibuprofen didn't manage to mute to an acceptable level), the most annoying thing was the inability to eat anything not soft and the continual taste of rotting blood in your mouth!
Because they had to cut my gum open to remove the impacted teeth, they also stitched the inside of my cheek to my gum (intentionally), which took months to properly get used to.

I normally have sedation dental work (even for the trivial stuff), but I got referred to the hospital for the wisdom teeth and it did take about 3 months from referral to removal.
