How many teeth extractions at once is too much?

I had 5 teeth extracted (all 4 wisdom teeth included) and I think that was one too many. But, my dentist was like my tooth is not repairable and “extraction is the best”. Is that a lot? Anybody with some experience? How many teeth extractions at once is too much? Hate dentists.

Hi. Soon I will have 7 teeth extracted at once. My teeth are crowded. I will be put to sleep of course, and my dentist said he will do whatever necessary, cleaning, filling, anything. Anyway, how old are you? Before extracting, dentists prefer to wait until the roots of the wisdom teeth are formed. I`ve heard that after an extraction you musn`t spit for 24 hours, or smoke for 48 (because you will get a dry socket)! I`m scared of some possible complications, such as bleeding or infections.

I had ( wisdom teeth!! All but two were extracted. The two that were not extracted were in problem areas of the lower jaw and the ortho surgeon decided to leave them in. Anyways, I was scared to death on getting my teeth pulled, especially 6 at one time. Once I woke from the surgery I immediately asked the doc if the procedure was a success or not. He told me that it was a success but the next 24 hours would be critical. Currently I am on day 6 and I have had no pain pills since the first day. The only pain that I did experience were in my cheeks. Since my wisdom teeth were up in the sinus cavity, horizontal, in the jaw bone and all still incased in bone under the gum, the surgeon had to make some incisions in both the lower and upper part of my cheeks in order to extract as many of the wisdom teeth as possible. Overall I have been very pleased with the procedure and the healing process and I would encourage you to get your wisdom teeth extracted as soon as possible, if you have not done so already. Do not wait like I did and let them get in such a pinch that if you ever do get them extracted you wont have to leave some of them in due to the dager of what could happen if they do remove the difficult ones.
