I am planning to have all 4 wisdom teeth taken out this week, due to cavities in two of them. I've heard terrible scary stories about getting all 4 of them out at one time. but I had to do it at once because of insurance problems. I'm really worried about the recovery period afterwards, how long should I request days off from work? and how long would it take for the pain to go away afterwards? PC Please Help Dr. Hall!

You do NOT want to go through this again, and you almost surely will. If one gets infected, the other will probably get infected. Wouldn't that be the pits if, while you're recovering from having the one wisdom tooth out, you discover that the infection from the first one has spread to the other side? It can happen. Usually impacted wisdom teeth take about 15 minutes apiece to remove. But it varies. With you being 38, I imagine it would take maybe 5 minutes longer. But it depends on the case: the angle of the tooth, the shape of the roots, and other factors. As far as choosing between general anesthesia and iv sedation, that would depend on you. One drawback to the iv sedation is that, if you are really up tight about the procedure, you can fight it off. So I'd tend to recommend the general anesthesia for you, where you are totally out, since you are worried about it. Dr. Hall Sandra,

Also for the sound advice. Can you tell mehow long this procedure approximately takes to complete for one tooth removed? Also I have the option for intravenous sedation or I can be put right under. What do you recommend, knowing that I am deathly afraid of getting this tooth removed? Once again, thank you for your advice. Thank you for the quick reply. Also for the sound advice.
