I was lucky, my wisdom teeth didn't hurt me at all. I didn't feel them, and they didn't break the gum... but they were growing in such a way that it was less than an inch away from hitting a nerve that would have paralyzed my mouth. So I had them taken out, all four of them. I was put under for it, and they cut through my gum, and broke my bone to get them out. The healing process was the wost thing I've ever went through in my life. Oh, and to top it all off, when I woke up crying for my mom, they told me to stop or I wouldn't be able to see her. That was just lovely.
