Scheduled to have all four wisdom teeth removed. Couple of questions.

I am 27 years old , about one year ago I was made aware by my then dentist that it would be in my best interest to have all four of my wisdom teeth extracted. They are not impacted and have come up but not completely, so this leaves a little flaps of skin that sometimes will bleed if I bite down too hard or even from brushing my wisdoms, since they are only like 75% erupted. Last week I had another dentist appointment and had two cavities filled and she also suggested that it would probably be better while I'm still "young" and under 30 and she gave me a referral to an oral surgeon which I am sitting in the waiting room at now. I am pretty scared. I definitely don't want to be awake for it. Can anyone describe the process and how your experience was? Do they usually extract all four in one visit?  Also I am worried about pain even though I heard they give hydrocodone after, the reason why I am worried is because I take opiates recreationally so should I let the doctor know this and therefore ask for oxycodone? Don't really want to be looked at as a drug seeker when I will be needing them for pain. This is going to be my first surgery I'm so nervous.

did you already have the surgery?
If so, hope it went well.

The extraction of all 4 wisdom teeth at once is not uncommon. It all depends on the circumstances, and preference of both you and your oral surgeon)

With my surgery ( i had all 4 of mine extracted on may 27) i didn't have much pain.
I had very little swelling and  no bruising.  I had stiffness in the jaw, which is normal, and I'm still working on fixing it right now...shouldn't take too long.

The only problem I really encountered was after all my freezing's and everything wore off.... I notice that my lower left lip and chin were numb.
I called my oral surgeons office and they said that this was NOT uncommon. It has to do with the nerve that runs in your lower jaw. They said the numbness has come about due to the damage of that nerve while the wisdom tooth was being extracted. (either it was crushed, stretched, or bruised) They told me it would take a few days to weeks to fully repair itself. But again, in rare cases it can take months to years for full recovery.

I'm trying my best to stay optimistic about it, it's only been 4 days since my surgery so it's still pretty early to determine if my nerve is healing yet or not.

I hope all goes well for you.
If you want to talk in the future, i'm here. :)

I just got home and uploaded the xray.In this Xray of my mouth you can see the mass I am talking about in the upper right hand corner right next to the wisdom tooth. It's not even causing me pain, should I still have it done? So scared lol. The doctor told me it's a fifth wisdom tooth.

Just left the office and the xray ended up showing four partially erupted wisdom teeth and then there is one that is impacted (or a tooth like mass), it is small and right next to my top left wisdom tooth. The dentist recommended general anesthesia and to be done in 2-4 weeks. Will attach the xrays when I get home.

All 4 are partially erupted as well. Almost fully erupted
