My grenadier had his out this week. They knocked him out and he was still loopy (or loopier than usual) 12 hours later. After 1 day of SIQ (sick in quarters), he came back with swollen cheeks but otherwise ok. They gave him some pain meds but he didn't bother taking them.

I had all four of mine done in boot camp. They didn't offer to knock me out, and the local wore off while the dentist was sawing my very impacted lower left wisdom tooth in half. I made him aware of this, and he gave me some more shots, but continued what he was doing without waiting for them to kick in. He did, however, tell me to "Cowboy out." I ignored the pamphlet they gave me about what to eat afterward and proceeded with a normal lunch about an hour after getting out of the chair. This was probably a mistake, and I ended up having to rinse out the sockets with squeeze bottle after every meal. I got some SIQ time, but I don't remember how much, and some Vicodin that I tried once and didn't take the rest of.
