Dear Eric,
As you maybe remember, I had my wisdom teeth removed last year the surgical way, and yeah, it was pretty bad. It hurt like hell for several days, and I had to get special pain killers prescribed to me to be able to cope. However, I am known to be a big wuss and I probably whined a lot more than needed, and the worst part was actually laying there for an hour, listening to the hammering, sawing, feeling the pulling and tasting the blood, which you wont experience since you'll be knocked out anyway! God, how I wish I had been knocked out.
Jeez don't listen to me, it sounds like I've gone through something extremely traumatic. It's not! Yeah, it's awful but there are worse things, and my case was worse than it is for most people, and hopefully worse than it'll be for you. Good luck, you'll be fine!
(Just don't drink through a straw when you're done, it can cause side effects you don't want)
