Unhappy Wisdom Teeth follies

84LX:

'Wisdom Teeth' removal is different for each person so another's experience - good or bad - is not an indicator of how you might experience the procedure.

I know some folks (like PKRWUD & Unit 5302) who had a horrible experience and some, like myself, that felt no pain, went out that evening and never experienced a problem afterward with quick healing and no side-effects.

According to my dentist (one of the best in this area) Wisdom teeth should only be removed if there is a real problem; otherwise they should be left alone.
'Impacted' just means that they are crowding the other back teeth. That is not always a big deal but only a dentist can tell you for sure, of course. Always get a second opinion before having any operation unless it's an emergency.

By the way, 84LX - your spelling was fine. Hope you heal up quick and all goes well.
