I need to get my wisdom tooth pulled because it is growing into my other tooth. It is not full out yet it has barley reached the top. My question is will I get the general anesthesia? My mom says I won't get put to sleep at the dentist office because it costs too much money and that it is her decisision not mine. So is there a possibility that they would put me under general anesthesia? Do normal dentists administer that?

No, it's not general anesthesia, it's IV sedation. They give you something called Verced that makes you sleepy and altogether happy and dreamy, but you're not really "out" in the way you would be for general anesthesia. With sedation you will probably snooze, but you can be woken up easily to move, open wider, etc. It's not a dangerous form of sedation with the risks that general anesthesia has.

"Normal" dentists do not use general anesthesia. As for the question of whether anesthesia is an option, I think that depends on the dentist. Some will refer you to an oral surgeon. I had a wisdom tooth pulled with only local anesthesia. It really wasn't bad.....until the numbness wore off, but that would be the same for general anesthesia as well.

A general anesthesia can only be administered by an oral surgeon. I have had this done, but it is better not to go with a general unless it is absolutely necessary. There is a much greater risk of complications. Most dentists are not trained to do this. I won't tell you it will not hurt. It doesn't when they do it, but afterward it most likely will. This will happen no matter how it gets done. In a day or so, you will be fine.

I ignored listening to her first cries, and it took longer till now i ought to have her in my palms. additionally, sure-this on occasion crosses over and motives the toddler to be born sleepy that should wind up with a NICU stay for monitoring. My 2nd chlid replaced into born by skill of a effective VBAC (with out discomfort drugs). With my third toddler, we envisioned yet another VBAC, yet she, too, replaced into born by skill of emergency cesarean. This time, I had a spinal extremely than ordinary anesthesia. I do pretty recommend the spinal! i replaced into very alert for the duration of the delivery, and replaced into retaining and nursing her interior a million/2 an hour. in case you're having a planned cesarean, i do no longer even think of they are going to use ordinary anesthesia. that's oftentimes reserved for while there is no time to manage an epidural or spinal. needless to say, whether that's planned there will be time so the final could no longer additionally be an decision for you. I wish you the main suitable!

I think a general anesthesia is administered by an anesthesiologist, that's why it's so expensive.
You'll be fine. Your dentist does this all the time.

You don't have to go under GA -- it's just more comfortable if you do. Your mom is right -- it's more expensive, so, you might just have to go with a local. The dentist IS the one who administers the GA. Hopefully your one of those people without a zillion nerve endings who gets numbed easily, so your recovery will be fairly comfortable. I wish you well!

she's right you cant get general anesthisa at the dental office but you can at the oral surgen. ask for nitrus ( laughing gas ) this is something that is avaliable in most offices, this will also not cost near as much as general will. i wouldnt worry to much about it though, you will be good an numb before they start anything and its a gaurentee that you will be just fine.

no, you would have to see a specialist, an oral surgeon.
