I asked the doctor whether impacted teeth where better (painless and easier to heal on my side) than teeth that are showing/completely out of the skin and he said yes. If the teeth are impacted, he can literally just cut open the skin, take out the tooth, and sew it up rather than leaving a hole to heal. But.. I only had one that was impacted. The three others we almost all the way out but really crowding my mouth.
My mouth was done bleeding only about 4-5 hours after and I havent needed to use any ice. I think that may be because I'm on steroids for a week. For me, this experience has been about 10x better than everyone said it would be.
Hope yours goes as smoothly!
