I had 4 out in one go. I was unpleasant. Invest in one of those awesome double sided gel ice packs if you're prone to swelling. I had two and I rotated them constantly so my face wasn't hot and throbbing.

I also had some further complications - one of my teeth was right near the nerve that runs along the edge of the jaw. I still get twinges sometimes. I also had a pretty bad accident that broke my jaw years ago so taking the tooth out made everything less stable. My surgeon gave me some weird new bone replacement cement stuff to fill in the gaps in my jaw. My swelling took over a month to go down.

I didn't get dry socket or any infections though! I followed the instructions pretty well. No smoking. No touching the stitches. No forceful spitting or sucking (can dislodge clots). Basically just act like you have no muscles in your mouth. Let the food and drink come to you. When you rinse, just tilt your head to rinse the stitches - don't try to move the mouthwash around with your mouth. Let everything you have to spit out just sort of run out of your mouth. Clean your mouth every single time you eat something. Even when you go back to work and you are the freak brushing your teeth in the employee bathroom.

All of this is gross, but there you go. Get comfy and put some good movies on.
