As a kid I was the one with cavities despite brushing etc.
I have two teeth, same tooth, but opposite sides. They have slowly been breaking down and need to be pulled. One snapped the other night so I’m making appointment to get it pulled.
Question is would you do both same day so the pain and healing is over and done with or do one. Heal. Then other side. I had booked one but now thinking do both,

I’d do both at the same time. That way you can get it over and done with. You will have just one week of watching what you eat so that popcorn/etc. doesn’t get stuck in the healing crater.

I'd do both at once.

If the dentist is willing to numb both sides during one appointment, I would do both.
I'm sorry you have to deal with it.

I would get both done at the same time, if the dentist was willing to do it.
If I am going to hurt and need painkillers, do it once and done!

both. i had partially impacted wisdom teeth on the top and fully impacted on the bottom. i went to hospital, got knocked out and had all removed at once. shitty as the recovery was, it was done. i say just get it all out of the way in one swoop. sorry, dental stuff sucks.  |

Another reason to do both, cost. It may be cheaper to do them at the same time.

Both at the same time if they will do that. I had to go back for 2 different appointments because they would not numb both sides of my mouth at the same time.

Both. DS just had four wisdom teeth removed and recovery wasn't too bad.

I vote both, too. I'd rather only worry about it once.

I say get them both done by an oral surgeon and not by a dentist. Recovery time from a dentist usually is way longer because they tug and pull the teeth out, whereas an orange surgeon usually will make incisions to make the removal easier.
