How I did it: I went to the best place on the cape.  Everyone my mum and I talked to said the two surgeons there are great.  When I sat in the dentist chair they put some metal things on my wrists and ankles, I think it was like an ekg.  Then they put an IV in my wrist (which I thought was a weird place).  They put a cone thing over my nose which they told me was oxygen.  The last thing I remember him doing was putting something cold in my IV.  I was awake, but I don't remember anything.  When I sort of woke up I was in the recovery room with a bunch of gauze in my mouth.  My mom and boyfriend were there.  I guess I kept asking the same question a bunch of times, and they were both laughing at that.  Right now it's the day after, and I only have a little bit of swelling, and it doesn't hurt.

Lessons & tips:

Before you get them out, just do everything the oral surgeon tells you.  Also follow their instructions for afterwards.

Resources: Well, the surgeon. Haha.  Ummm, gauze, pudding, homemade banana muffins.
