I had four removed. I went under, no way I was about to be awake for that. Usually day 3-4 are the worst. The day of and after arent to bad, you are still doped up from the anesthetic and pretty out of it. Then the soreness really sets in, but you should be ok taking some vicodin or w/e they gave you.
But OP, I experienced something kinda similar to yours. I had dissolvable stitches to btw, and they just come out on their own. Anyways, after a little short of a week everything was good, swelling/bruising was down and was getting back to eating regular, except for one of my incisions. Well, we had a follow up and when we got there turns out that my mom goofed the days and we came in 2 days early. Since we were already there the Doc said he'd see me anyways. Well, turns out one of the incisions had gotten infected, which was causing all the soreness. If I hadn't accidentally came in early he said it could have gotten a lot worse and they might have needed to go in there and clean it out. But I just got some antibiotics and a vicodin refill (probably bad idea looking back) and was good as new a week later.
Just make sure you cleaning and rinsing out your mouth good. And follow Dr.'s orders, no sucking through straws, smoking, etc. Its really not a bad procedure, its over before you know it, but it is definitely not something that you want to make worse by getting infected, dry sockets, or w/e else cuz then its a B!

I had all 4 removed in one visit, and I was awake.
this was back in high school though. I looked like a chipmunk for weeks.

I actually just got all 4 taken out 3 weeks ago, and compared to everyone i talked to I
had it easy. There was no swelling, the procedure took 40 mins, only had laughing gas,
no pain, eating solids the third day. Not to brag though,
I'm not trying to rub it in.
I didn't get stitches though, is that normal?

I had my procedure on wed. morning and suprised at how simple & quick this was after all the feedback I was given. I've felt no pain AT ALL during the removal and after. The dentist put in work!!!! I was dissapointed with my friends hyping it up like I'm gonna be in pain for 5 days.

I got mine scheduled for may 5 to get 4 of mine removed. From the look of the submitted charges to my insurance. It'll cost $2235. Out of that I have to pay $289.
