Had two of my wisdom teeth removed 3 weeks ago, top left and bottom left. Bottom left had erupted but not fully due to being sideways and was also infected (god damn it hurts when its infected). They were taken out under local anaesthetic and it took about two weeks for it to heal enough for me to be able to eat on the left side without it causing problems. The second two will be taken out within the next couple of months by a specialist due to the bottom right wisdom tooth sitting right on a nerve. Also all my wisdom teeth have fully developed roots, which makes things even more difficult. -_-
Due to dry socket you cant use a straw for about a week and you cant have hot foods for the first two - three days or so. I lived on lukewarm soup, ice cream, jelly, chocolate mousse, yoghurt etc
It sucks getting them out, but honestly not being able to chew is probably the worst thing. The pain wasnt too bad, possibly even better than when they were still in my mouth.
But i really ecourage you to go to the dentist! Cause you're better off getting them taken care of before they have erupted, cause then the roots are more likely to be formed and it just become alot more of a hassle.
Also if you're going with local anaesthitic i HIGHLY suggest having the sedative as well!! Helped a shit ton!
