I had an experience similar to JPiZZiJP.
All 4 of my teeth were impacted, the top 2 were semi (45 degree angle).
I didn't go to a surgeon, I let my dentist do the work while I was awake. To tell you the truth, it wasn't all that bad and I hate blood!
The worst part was listening to him tell me, "now Jon, don't move or it might slip and break your jaw." That was kind of scary since my chin was in my chest and he was standing up, lol. I went home with some pain killers.
When the novocaine wore off I felt the pain, it hit HARD. It was about an hour since the surgery and I was trying to swollow pain killers but the blood and gauze was killing me. Then the narcs didn't kick in fast enough so for about 2 hours I was on the kitchen floor banging my head trying to take the pain away to another place. It worked okay but wow was I in pain.
I didn't swell up nearly as bad as my best friend who went to an oral surgeon and was knocked out. He was already short so when he answered the door my other friend and I just started cracking up.
All in all it isn't aweful but make certain they give you narcotics BEFORE the novacaine wears off. That was the only aweful thing about it. Oh, and don't have them stuff so much gauze in your mouth that you can't open it enough to change them out. That was also painful because I needed room for the pills to go down, lol.
Good luck and hope all goes well.
