Dentists are doctors, if you ask nicely you can score a free prostate exam while you're under, won't feel a thing.

Nothing special to tell really. I had to have mine removed along with a 5th molar because the root was wrapping around my sinus cavity so I was about 2 months away from choking on blood. For me I guess the surgeon had to break my teeth in half and remove them that way so it was like getting 10 teeth pulled but no biggie, I was under the whole time. Woke up in a wheelchair with a mouth full of bloody gauze and a bottle of Percocets. Recovery is about a day, no pain from what I remember. Honestly the worst part is just switching out the gauze and waiting for the stitches to dissolve, kind of annoying. Other than that, just try not to make any long suction movements with your mouth like smoking, drinking from a straw, anything that requires you to make a kissy face. You don't want dry socket or you WILL feel pain. It's all over before you know it. Plus you'll have two little crevasses in the back of your mouth to suck on ice cubes and store nuts in a few days time!

Be really careful cleaning the holes and not letting food get in. Most of my friends had no issues at all and we over the pain and bleeding in a day and a half or so, but it took me several days to stop bleeding. Something to try it you're still bleeding on day 3 or so is placing tea bags in the sides of your mouth and biting down for an hour making sure there's contact between the bags and the holes. Acid in the tea is supposed to stem the bleeding, but God is it one of the worst tastes you'll ever experience. If you're gonna watch movies to pass the time, avoid comedies because laughing hurts. I stuck to documentaries, 2000's superhero movies, and Bob Ross. If you notice white fluid in the holes go straight back to the doctor and get antibiotics or you'll get infected and need further surgery (happened to my mom; I got help before mine got really infected). Like I said though, for most people it goes well. Keep in mind your jaw won't completely heal up for a long time, but if you're not doing anything extreme this shouldn't affect you. Godspeed.

The pain meds they give you are great, also watch some good anime while recovering it makes the time go by faster

All four at once? I question your judgment. Better to have one side of working molars to chew with than none.

Just had three of mine removed last week. Honestly was over before I knew it and I feel better than ever now.
