yeah man. I had that same swelling bubble gum feel on a bottom tooth. Eventually I stuck my finger in there and popped it. It was pretty foul. I thought it was from smoking.I got 4 teeth cut out, followed by all of my wisdom teeth, in 1 year.
Heed my words.
The doctor is going to make you keep a gauze in your mouth to soak up blood. You're supposed to change it often, and rinse with salt water, and spritz this stuff on the opened areas.
DO IT.
FREQUENTLY.
If you don't, this bump kinda thing will swell up over the hole where you got the teeth cut out and it'll feel like a piece of bubble gum is stuck in your mouth and it's REALLY annoying.
Also don't eat rice... at all.
Other than that if you have a girl or something to take care of you its fun fam. You'll be sleep from the time the surgery starts till the end. And then you'll be tipsy for like 4 hours (depending on weight). I got home, got help getting up the stairs, fell over on my bed and was out cold from 1-5pm. Think of it as a short term drunk spree.
Hell no.General anesthesia.
I only had 1 removed while awake. The dentist didn't numb me enough it was crazy. Shes there getting it out and I can't talk cuz the clamp has my mouth open but it's hurting a little, a single tear went down my face like Denzel in Glory and she asked me if I needed more numbing. I thought I was good after it was done, drove myself home all that but then the med wore off. The pain was OD after. I got percs but that made me feel so crazy. Just have yogurt and other soft foods like apple sauce. Hopefully you have someone around to assist you and baby you cuz that pain gonna have you mad grumpy.
Good luck bro, after a few days you will be back to your regular self.
This post got me shook.

If you aren't getting put to sleep..just make sure they poke/whatever when they are numbing you. And if you feel ANYTHING, tell them. If they have the gas, use it, It may calm you down some. It did nothing for me lol. And when they send in your prescription in for your meds, get them asap so you can pop a perc on the way home(assuming you have someone to drive you). I only needed them for the first day and I was good on pain after that. The main thing is getting through the soreness after everything wears off, but like I said if you have your meds available to take when you get home you should be fine bro.
Stick a cork up your butt to ease the pain
Hell no.General anesthesia.
Stay awake for the extraction. It's awesome. I was shook before my extraction, but as soon as that sweet air hit me I was having the time of my life.
The extraction is actually the fun part. Everything after sucks.
Besides, the oral surgeon will probably be more inclined to be rougher if you're completely under. Every person that I know that went under general anesthesia came out with bruised cheeks.
