I had all four of got mine out when I was 18 and they had to put me under since they were impacted. My jaw swelled up like a hamster hoarding seed for a couple of days. Ice cream and soup was about all I could eat, since it hurt to bite down on anything. I could eat cereal as long as I let the milk make it soggy. Also, try not to pull at the stitches. I found myself doing that since it felt like a bunch of celery strings caught between my teeth. I couldn't do any strenous exercise for a week, either, so I had to skip my martial arts classes. Just kick back and try to pass the time.
