When I was 18 I had all 4 impacted wisdom teeth removed by Dr. Plotkin. Of course I was terrified, but couldn't have been in better hands. It was years ago, but I do remember my recovery to be quick with minimal swelling and no prescription meds were necessary. I know everyone reacts differently, but I attribute my quick recovery to this wonderful doctor. If I ever need an oral surgeon again, I would choose him in a heart beat!
