What hurts more the lower or upper wisdom tooth hurt more afterwards?
The lowers definitely hurt more. I just had all 4 of my out on Friday (it's Monday today). I can't even tell my upper ones were removed. My lower jaw is still sore - not INCREDIBLY sore, but it feels stiff and achey. From what I've read, this is because the lower wisdom teeth are closer to a major nerve system. Also, the lower jaw is more fragile than the upper jaw, so all of the pressure from the extraction causes more pain. Good luck!

What is a soft tooth impaction of a wisdom tooth?
The actual term is "soft tissue impaction." This refers to how deep the tooth lies in the jaw. A soft tissue impaction means that the tooth lies just beneath the gum tissue and no bone will have to removed to extract the tooth. In contrast, a "partial boney impaction" means most of the tooth still lies within the jaw bone and some bone will be removed during the extraction. A "full boney impaction" means the entire tooth resides within the jaw bone and more bone will have to be removed to access and extract the tooth. A soft tissue impaction is usually the least involved and least expensive extraction of the three.
