I'm so happy I had it done while I was still on my parents insurance and that I was still in HS. I had friends who had it done 5, 10, 15 years after me and from what I remember hearing the experience was much worse (and expensive!)

I was supposed to get my wisdom's pulled at age 18 but didn't because I feared for my life with all the horror stories others had shared. I put it off for 15 years and once or twice a year for a few days they'd hurt like hell. 800 ml. Ibiprophen would relieve the pain. Finally in 1994 my dentist said they had to be removed and he knew how afraid I would be so he introduced me to valium. I was instructed to take six over a four hour period and then be driven to the appointment. By the time I arrived at the office I didn't feel a ****ing thing. I remember giggling thru the procedure. After that I was driven home by my friend and the high was incredible! I went to sleep for 4 hours, woke up, felt NO PAIN and had pot roast for dinner. I was a cigarette smoker in those days. I was told not to smoke for 48 hours but as any smoker will tell you; that's impossible. I was never in any pain from the sugery. However, because I smoked right away, mary jane too, I created an air pocket below one of my gums and that had to be dealt with another time, but I don't remember how.

Moral of the story: Don't fear the reaper. Getting your wisdom's out may be no big deal at all.

And Don't Forget To Ask For VALIUM!!!!
