Jen - I had all mine out under general anaesthetic, about 9 years 
ago.  Horrible.  But - some advice.  I found that my swollen face and 
gums and the healing process in general was greatly helped by Arnica 
ointment and pills - homeopathic, if you are not familiar with it.  
My dentist was amazed at how quickly I healed - much quicker than 
everyone else who had the op at the same time - it really does work.

Good luck with your recovery!
