How to have my wisdom teeth taken out
How I did it: I made an appointment during my winter break from law school because I didn't want to deal with going to class all drugged up and in pain.

I walked in, sat down, was led to the actual "operating room" (which turned out to be merely a regular dentist's office with more equipment, like an oxygen machine, IV drip, etc.), put in an IV, and gave me some oxygen. Before I knew it, I was waking up in a wheelchair and mumbling about something I had seen the night before on tv!
Lessons & tips: Follow all of the instructions that they give you so that you don't develop a dry socket. I found that eating baby food was the best thing because there are so many flavors that you can't possibly become sick of them.
