The pain has been pleasantly mild. It's very sensitive where the teeth came out, as if the inside of my mouth was badly bruised. That's not exactly agony, though, and the ibuprofen horse-pills bring it down to a pretty modest annoyance. I'll probably continue to take the Vicodin at bedtime for a couple of days, but may not need it otherwise.
So overall, not too bad: the inconvenience is well worth it for knowing that I'm not going to have to deal with the horror of a bad wisdom tooth again...
