Laughing gas is usually most effective on children. If you're old enough to have your wisdom teeth extracted, you may not have the most pleasant experience with nitrous oxide. If you are having all 4 extracted, that is alot of injections in the mouth. Has your dentist referred you to an oral surgeon? They are the one's who specialize in this type of procedure, and they also are able to give you IV sedation. I know you are afraid of needles, but the very small pinch in the arm is so much easier than being awake, especially if your teeth are impacted and require more extensive surgery than a simple extraction. Please re-consider...

of course. you can get them pulled without the gas, even. but, if they are impacted, you could end up getting many many shots. i had like 14. so, it is best to do IV conscious sedation.

BIOLOGIC DENTISTRY AND IV SEDATION

Before Conscious IV sedation was used in Biological Dentistry, there was no other choice but to have the patient come into the office as many as 5 or 6 times for treatment.

According to Dr. Hal Huggins, a pioneer researcher of biological dentistry, IV sedation is...[a good] approach for the patient's welfare because...[it will] not interfere with the 7-14-21 day cycle of the immune system. ...this new approach...[allows] for faster recouperation, excellent detoxification,...and [is] less stressful for the patient.

IV sedation is performed by a licensed anesthesiologist (M.D.). ...we use MIDAZOLAM. The risk is minimal with heart and blood pressure being monitored throughout the procedure. ...[It] can last anywhere from 3-6 hours, depending on the amount of work required; But...to...the patient,...[it will seem like] it has only been an hour or less. The patient does not go under. They can talk, use the restroom, and interact and participate throughout the procedure. Some...patients drive home,...although...the patient [may opt to] bring a friend or spouse with them.

i recommend a biologic dentist so you don't get cavitations:

CAVITATIONS

A cavitation is an unhealed hole in the jawbone caused by an extracted tooth [or a root canal or an injury to a tooth]. Since wisdom teeth are the most commonly extracted teeth, most cavitations are found in the wisdom tooth sites. Please see the graphic and photo below to get a glimpse of what may be in your mouth and the effects it is having. The photo and diagram demonstrate the destructive and pathologic consequence of a routine tooth extraction. Dentists are taught in dental school that once they pull a tooth, the patient's body heals the resulting hole in the jawbone. However, approximately 95% of all tooth extractions result in a pathologic defect called a cavitation. The tooth is attached to the jawbone by a periodontal ligament which is comprised of "jillions" of microscopic fibers. One end of each fiber is attached to the jawbone and the other end of the fiber is attached to the tooth root. When a tooth is extracted, the fibers break midway between the root and the bone. This leaves the socket (the area where the root was anchored in the bone) coated with periodontal ligament fibers.


There are specialized cells in the bone called osteoblasts. Osteoblasts make new bone. The word "osteoblast" means bone former. They are active during growth and maintenance. However, the periodontal ligament prevents the osteoblasts from filling in the tooth socket with bone since the periodontal ligament fibers lining the socket act as a barrier beyond which the osteoblasts cannot form bone. In other words, an osteoblast "sees" a tooth when it "sees" periodontal ligament fibers. Since there are billions of bacteria in the mouth, they easily get into the open tooth socket. Since the bone is unable to fill in the defect of the socket, the newly formed "cavitation" is now infected. Since there is no blood supply to the "cavitation" it is called "ischemic" or "avascular" (without a blood supply). This results in necrosis (tissue death). Hence we call a cavitation an unhealed, chronically infected, avascular, necrotic hole in the bone. The defect acts to an acupuncture meridian the same way a dead tooth (or root canal tooth) acts. It causes an interference field on the meridian which can impair the function and health of other tissues, organs and structures on the meridian. Significantly, the bacteria in the cavitation also produce the same deadly toxins that are produced by the bacteria in root canals (see Root Canals). These toxins are thio-ethers (most toxic organic substance known to man), thio-ethanols, and mercaptans. They have been found in the tumors in women with breast cancer.

No way. Not at all. Not unless you are a war veteran who has been subject to inordinate amounts of torture and lived to tell about it.

You CAN get laughing gas until you don't care about too much of anything and THEN get shots to numb your mouth and then you won't feel the surgery. This is a common approach.

I am having my wisdom teeth removed on Tuesday (with the use of an IV). My dentist prescribed me an oral sedative to take before the procedure. Then he will numb my mouth with local anasthetic / give me some shots (in my mouth) to numb the area before the procedure.

you ever gotten extremely, extremely intense? Its like that yet greater thrilling, reason on your relative loss of undertaking for the pliers on your mouth. you would be in finished administration of your physique, wont bypass out or something like that. in spite of if, pay attention for the previous jiffy; whilst they initiate turning the nitrous oxide down and the oxygen up, you will at as quickly as be pulled back on your generic point of understanding. this could reason issues, in order that which you be responsive to, however the issues arent risky. by using the time you get living house you wont sense it..regardless of the reality that purely like all different drug (alcohol, etc.) you will proceed to be slightly wobbly for something of the day, and you will in all probability get reeeeally drained. ...ok one final element, and earlier I tel lyou this understand: i'm being completely and punctiliously honest. I had to get maximum of my tooth root canaled (ambligenesis imperfecta -- an the teeth sickness. my tooth rotted no remember what I did.) so i replaced into on the stuff plenty...and in many situations time the basis canal wasnt completely numb.. ...It felt *good*. No i'm not kidding, its extraordinary as hell. Suffice it to assert, you will come living house with some very stupid thoughts and with awareness of an option technique of perception. :D Oh yet once you arise too speedy, prepare to adventure extreme vertigo. (that's why they decrease the ranges of it earlier you arise*

NO NO NO! Don't do that to yourself! Do it their way and
it will be easier on all of you. If you're that scared of needles
they should probably give you valium first, like an hour before
you go in.
