[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Our DD had hers out this summer, all four impacted.  She was home within two hours of when she left the house.  Our oral surgeon only advised over the counter pain meds which actually seemed adequate but required pretty active management to stay on a schedule at least at first.

She was relatively functional within 24 hours, quite careful about what she ate for about three days, then just avoided particularly difficult foods like chips for a few weeks.

She plays a sport where she has to wear a mouth guard and was back at practice five or six days later.  I was expecting it to take two weeks.[/quote]

Same experience for DD this summer, just turned 16. She was done with braces and wisdom teeth growing in would have started pushing everything around so ortho advised getting them out as soon as practical. Other benefit to doing it early was her roots weren't fully formed yet so extraction was easier than it would have been had she waited a few more years. Still had some pain and swelling for a few days but manageable and not as much as I remember when I had mine out. I think she took the prescription Tylenol with codeine once and used the 800mg Advil for the first day but otherwise cycled regular Advil and Tylenol. Out of pocket cost was $800 after insurance (MetLife through FEDVIP).[/quote]
