I had 4 impacted wisdom teeth and the whole thing was a breeze. No puking blood, no dry sockets, no need for pain killers. I'm not a tough guy, either. Just something for those who have yet to go through the ordeal to think about. It's not always terrible.
Oh yeah, the experience of nitrous for a 17-year old straightedge kid was awesome. I told the dentist that I didn't want drugs (yes, I was a moron), so he gave me "a little something to help with breathing." Within minutes I was singing Barry White songs to each bloody chunk of tooth as it left my mouth.
