It turns out that I like my mouth as it is.

That is, without big gaping, bleeding holes in the gums.

I'm currently going trough the big gaping, bleeding holes in the gums phase!
Okay, not really. I mean there are big gaping holes but they really aren't bleeding all that much. I went to the dentist yesterday because there was still some bleeding and the nice lady on the phone said that wasn't normal and would I like to come in for an appointment. I said yes and when I got there the dental assistant took a look and said everything looked fine but that I might have a 'liver clot' according to google they are so called because they look like liver. The dentist looked and said I was healing fine and then stuck his big ol' paw in my mouth and removed the liver clot and gave me gauze to bite on and sent me home.

In your case what to expect depends on the tooth. Is it impacted? If so there'll be more work the oral surgeon will have to do to get it out. Hopefully you are seeing an oral surgeon. I think it's best if you go with someone who does this kind of thing on a regular basis.
If you're getting knocked out (Fang Recommended!) then you won't remember a thing. See my previous blog post for details.
Healing has been a pain both literally and figuratively although the pain is not nearly as bad as I expected. I will be rinsing my mouth out every couple of hours for the next few weeks and that's already gotten old.
However you are a young'un and I expect you'll bounce right back. My reading indicates that it's best to get your wisdom teeth yanked early if they've got to get yanked.
In any even there will be pain, discomfort, and swelling. However follow the doctor's instructions and you'll probably be fine and heal before I do. Dang kids today with their hair and music and healing ability.

Wait a minute, are you trying to tell me English at Cambridge is some total mickey mouse shit? Much as it would vastly entertain me to believe this (I have spent a lot of time with people who really don't like Cambridge and I guess it's rubbed off), the schedule of the one person I've known who studied English there was fairly brutal so I'm a little dubious. Are you sure this guy isn't just failing his course?

Ladybug:
Those of you who have had your wisdom teeth removed, why have they been removed? The area around one of my wisdom teeth hurts like hell, but it's not really my tooth that hurts, just the stuff around it. It's been like this for periods before, but it's worse than before now. Should I see a dentist? :/ I've been hoping to avoid it due to cost and pain issues, but yeah, it's pretty painful already, but it'll probably pass in a while, like it has before.

Metope:
Yes, go see a dentist! The tooth could be infected, and sometimes it's not the tooth itself that hurts, but the area around like in your case. Don't ask me why, I dunno. It could also be because the tooth may be in a weird position, which sometimes irritates the gums and causes pain. I had mine removed because of this, they weren't infected at all, but their backwards positions would eventually have damaged the gums and teeth nearby severely, which of course would have lead to pain other places than in the wisdom teeth themselves. So yeah, go see a dentist.

sean:
the teeth around it could be hurting cause yr wisdom tooth is coming in and there is no room for it. thats usually why they are taken out, the human mouth is too small for wisdom teeth. they act as replacement teeth of sorts, considering back when hygiene was not as good as it was today people had usually lost a few teeth so the wisdom teeth filled in the gap. but since i presume you haven't lost any teeth they're gonna be hells of painful coming in and may even do wacky shit like come in sideways. honestly, i would get yrself checked out. my guess is the longer you wait the pain is gonna come in more and more and be more painful every time.

at least, that is my understanding of wisdom teeth.

edit: aw man kris beat me to the punch! oh well yr getting my post anyway.
