Here's the general rule of thumb: Experiences vary widely.

Some pop right out, and others are sideways, deeply impacted or have roots wrapped around them. You cannot judge what your experience will be from others. It could be easy or it could be a mess. Read the disclosure carefully before signing. All kinds of nightmare could happen - nerve damage, busted jaw, dry sockets, fractured tooth pieces left behind, infection, etc.

I had 4 impacted wisdom teeth and the sockets oozed blood for days after the extraction. My lower jaw looked like Marlon Brando in the Godfather for about 2 weeks afterwards. Mine was a pain in the ass. However, I have many friends who said it was no big deal.
