I know the feeling it's the worst pain known to anyone the reason I asked is because mine has broke the skin and is now pushing the mauler, and face has swollen |

"Had all 4 of mine removed under general anaesthetic. It was the two suppositories they gave me beforehand that were more of a shock  .
"
How did you manage to get GA? Did you have to get referred to a hospital by your dentist? I really want to have mine out as it's impacted and I keep biting the inside of my cheek, but I'm too terrified to get it done  |

Had mine removed at the age of 18 in hospital by a specialist. Preferred to be out of it, though I know a good few people who have had theirs out in the dentist's chair. |

"I've got an appointment booked, just got to see whether there going to refer me to a hospital or do it there how long does the recovery process take "
Not long, used salt water wash for a couple of weeks to keep wounds sterile, totally healed within a month.
It was quite a few years ago so cant remember the exact timescale. |

Had one taken out in the dentist chair. Dentist kneeling on my chest and it bloody hurt, tooth fractured and came out in bits. Other three taken out in hospital under general I was not making that mistake again. |

All 4 of mine were severely impacted and i kept getting gum infections all of the time.
Dentist was going to refer me for what would have been a 2 year wait on the NHS at the time. Luckily had it done via my private healthcare insurance within weeks.
It is horrid pain and you can understand why babies scream so much when teething. |

Ah okay, I'm not getting gum infections but the teething pain is really bad. My dentist is private and I have dental insurance so I'll see if I can get it done under GA with them. |

Dentist took all 4 of mine out after I had a valium jab. It was 30+ years ago so things may have changed. Hope you get it sorted as I remember the pain was a bitch x |

I had four wisdom teeth removed years ago after one grew out in a funny angle, but as far as I can recall it was done at the dentist under local anaesthetic.
After the final one was pulled (I had to go in twice as they wouldn’t remove all of them at once) a lower molar was removed years later after being compromised due to the closest wisdom tooth putting too much pressure onto it and damaging it beyond repair. The molar caused more issues that the wisdom teeth combined. |

Don't know what it's like now that we're in Covid times, but five years ago my dentist referred me for a day in hospital under a general anaesthetic to have two impacted wisdoms removed. She extracted one non-impacted one herself the following week.
I got the impression that if there was the slightest risk (i.e. impacted), it had to be a general anaesthetic in a hospital operating theatre.
Any non-impacted wisdom that had to be removed because of decay or some other reason could be done easily in a dentist chair. She did mine in less than five mins.
No pain from any of the procedures.

All 4 of mine were removed at the same time, in hospital, under a general anaesthetic. I had a root wrapped round a nerve that could have caused facial paralysis.
