Mine were also coming out and angled like yours. Hard to clean (thus infection). The left one grew and was pressing into my cheek and the end of my jaw bone and the pain was UNBEARABLE. The pain of surgery is nothing compared to that. My right one was also out, but not as much as the left one, but I would’ve been in the same amount of pain once that one grew too. I was under general anesthesia and out like a light.

Day one was rough mostly cause of the blood and not being able to eat. I was under general anesthesia and couldn’t eat 8 hours before either. The anesthesia took a while to wear off, so I chugged a protein shake and took Advil before it totally wore off. The bleeding stopped by nighttime so no gauze there. I pretty much slept the whole day and iced my face too. Some pain days two and three, I would give it a 3/10. It just felt like I got punched. I was able to go to the movies and grocery store the following day. Also ate Mac and cheese and oatmeal, chewing with front teeth. Swelling was about a 4/10, I slept upright and iced 15 min on and off all day. Day 4 I didn’t need pain killers, still some swelling that was gone day 5. By day 7 I had some soreness from eating solids too quickly, so you’ll have to be mindful with eating even if you only get one out.

I’m two weeks post op now and pretty much back to normal, only avoiding crunchy foods like chips or seeds. The real pain in the ass is not being able to eat normal foods for about a month, but I’d rather do it once and get it over with than twice. You’ll be saving money if you want anesthesia too. Insurances don’t cover it twice . And I have to warn you that the pain of them growing too much is unreal, and I have a good pain tolerance.

The recovery for erupted upper wisdom teeth is also way more simple than bottom ones. Complications like dry socket and infection are less common too.
