usually they consider wisdom teeth extraction to be surgery (I got all four taken out at the same time), so they gave me general... i was out before i counted to ten. completely unconscious so yay! you can always tell them that is what you prefer.
after, they give you prescriptions for pain -- GET THEM FILLED BEFORE THE NEXT DAY. i didn't and woke up the next morning in excruciating pain. remember, it's surgery, so if yours are like mine were, you're going to have stitches and such. but remember, you're gonna be knocked out, so you'll still be groggy after it happens and feeling no pain. but the next day... just get the pain meds.
milkshakes, slimfast shakes, pudding, ICE CREAM for the first few days, then soft foods until healed. so yeah, chicken broth w/milk is cool or potato soup, if it's pureed is cool. and definitely ice cream. although i wouldn't get anything too hot to eat. no good, that.
*hugs* it'll be okay. it's totally worth it, because if you don't get them out, the pain will just get worse.
