I had all 4 wisdom teeth yanked on one visit. I was put on gas that knocked me out. When I came through, the dentist looked like he just spent a hard hour at the gym and said my wisdom teeth were unusually large and that they were difficult to remove.
Next morning, my pillow was soaked in blood and my face had swollen to comical proportions. The swelling receded after about a week. Chances are that your daughter's experience will not be nearly as bad as mine.

Lol. Wise move. My experience was probably the worst case scenario. I only realized how bad it was when other people were relating how they got their wisdom teeth removed and it was "no big deal".

When my last one got removed my mouth was numb from novacaine while the surgeon was removing it. Before the procedure I had signed a waiver explaining that there was a slight chance my jaw would break. Now, as he's working and I'm numb I hear a very loud crack, then he yells "oh shit!" I was positive he had broken my jaw. He hadn't, but he broke the tooth next to my wisdom tooth.

So much for my "worst case scenario" premise. Those are not the sounds you want to hear while under the knife...or the pipe wrench in your case apparently.
