I had all four cut out a couple months after I graduated high school. I have a decent pain tolerance, but I insisted on being put all the way out for that one. What an experience it was - I couldn't stop the bleeding completely for several hours after the surgery, ate nothing but soft food for several days, and couldn't completely return to my usual diet for two weeks. I ate a lot of pudding, yogurt, and soup. Chicken noodle soup was good, as long as the chicken is very juicy and doesn't really need to be chewed.
