Re: Off topic but I need some advice

Hi andra,

I had all 4 of my wisdom teeth removed several years ago - 2 were

impacted, 2 weren't. I had them done in the oral surgeon's office.

They gave me laughing gas to start, then an injection into an IV - I

literally was totally out of it before the Dr. finished the

injection! When I came to, I was very groggy but in no pain. I

slept in the backseat of the car the whole way home. The Dr. gave

me an injection of long acting novacane that didn't wear off until

the next morning. He also gave me pain pills which I never needed

to use.

I may have been unusual but I didn't have any pain afterward. When

I went in the next week to have the stitches out I told him that it

was so much easier than expected.

I have also had an emergency c/section and ab myo, both under

general anesthesia. Athough I had good experiences with both of

those, the wisdom teeth was by far the easiest. You will be fine

with local anesthetic - you shouldn't feel or remember anything. As

with any surgery, the anticipation is really the worst part.

Good luck to you & try not to worry too much!!

Hi andra

I underwent two procedures for wisdom teeth. Both

times done under local in the dentists office. the

last two were impacted so it took a bit longer but I

felt no pain. If your dentist is not one that has

" modernized " his/her office, you may want to bring a

headset with you. The worst thing about the dentist

is the sound.

Good Luck
