Even worse are root canals.
I had a root canal done about 5 or 6 years ago, I was dreading it having had one many years prior. To my surprise, it was really no big deal, in fact I'd say it was no worse than getting a filling outside of the extra time in the chair. Pleasantly surprised the whole time. Maybe the technology to perform them has changed? I don't know not being anything remotely close to a dental expert.

I had one of my wisdom teeth removed in my early teens. I also had a permanent tooth stain from a high fever as child that I eventually had covered through bonding. I had braces in my teen years as well. Some of the issues are genetic. Good oral hygiene helps prevent some of them.

Wisdom teeth dont tend to impact the face when removed, but molars removed do, especially when young. Some people are affected more then others as per their genetics and diets when young.

During Lent, I had a wisdom tooth extracted. It was causing infection and forcing other teeth into painful positions.

The dentist is a holistic one; the procedure was, believe it or not, painless. (Results may vary, of course.) They prescribed an antibiotic and recommended OTC pain relievers.

They use a process called PRF platelet therapy, using platelets from the patient's blood to heal the extraction site.

Feels so good to have that bad boy out of my mouth.

I don’t know if this is a good question or not, but was your wisdom tooth impacted? I always thought, and may have always been wrong, that an impacted wisdom tooth is more painful to remove , Glad the process went well for you
