When youre wisdom teeth are getting taken out does it hurt?


Answer:
Complications from wisdom tooth removal are rare. They include infection, temporary sinus complications, injury to other teeth, numbness (usually temporary), temporary joint problems in the jaw, and in very rare cases, jaw fracture. If the jaw seems weak after surgery, your doctor may advise avoiding hard foods until the healing is complete. The outcome of surgery to remove wisdom teeth is often visible: chipmunk cheeks. The good news is the symptoms don't last long, and dentists have many ways to minimize swelling or pain. The symptoms rarely last more than 48 to 72 hours.
To allow the area to heal, you should eat only soft foods, soups, and liquids for at least the first two days following surgery. Complications are rare, but you should report any of the following symptoms of infection to your oral surgeon immediately:
鈥?Fever of more than 100 degrees
鈥?Abnormal swelling
鈥?Pain or a bad or salty taste in your mouth, whether or not there's discharge from the site
In some cases, blood doesn't properly form a clot in the tooth's empty socket, leading to a local infection known as "dry socket" about 48 hours after surgery. Although painful, the condition is easily treated by placing a medicated dressing on the extraction site.
Of course, some bleeding and swelling around the empty socket is normal. Applying pressure to your gums will usually stop bleeding, and ice helps ease swelling. Dentists advise patients to rinse with warm water and to use ice or a cold pack around the affected area of the jaw to reduce swelling. Patients who don't place ice in their mouths or ice packs on their jaw after the procedure are usually the ones in the worst shape when they come to see him for follow-up appointments a few days after surgery.

at the time you will be on drugs so you wont feel that . but once the job is done and the drugs are gone yes it said to be one of the most painfull things a person is likely to feel.
it depends on the person really
DURING THE PROCEDURE...YOU SHOULDNT THE SHOULD GIVE YOU SOME KIND OF ANESTHETIC...I WAS OUT FOR ROUGHLY 20 MINS...WHEN I CAME TO...THERE WASNT ANY PAIN YET BECUZ OF BEING ON THE ANESTHETIC STILL...AFTER ANOTHER 20MINS..THE ANESTHETIC WORE OFF AND THEN IS WHEN I FELT THE PAIN...LUCKILY WE WERE ABOUT 5 MINS AWAY FROM THE DRUGSTORE TO GET ME MY PAIN PILLS..WHICH HELP TREMENDOUSLY!!
I was put under anethesia, but it was uncomfortable when I woke up. Just make sure not to get a "dry socket." This is when the blood clot comes out of the hole where the tooth was removed, usually by sucking with a straw, smoking, etc. That hurts and you should see your dentist/surgeon right away.
If you are having them cut out, you will be asleep. You may have some swelling for a few days. Good luck!
It's best to get all four out at once. You'll probably be out for the surgery. If not, you won't hurt during the surgery. You'll just be sore for about a week, but they give you pain pills. Don't worry!!
