Being sedated is like drinking 1 to many pints, you will feel very sleepy and really peaceful, bear in mind you are being sedated so you will not be put to sleep completely.
You will still be able to understand what the dentist is saying to you, for instance if he/she asks you to touch your nose you be able to understand him/her, but after the procedure you wont really remember much of what went on.
You have no fear of being molested, as if your treatment is carried out under the correct manner you should have 2 dentists present, one to administer the drug and the other to carry out the extraction,a dental nurse will also be present and should hopefully be qualified both in dental nursing and dental sedation.
Once the treatment is finished it's recommended that you dont drive, drink, sign legal documents! and you should also bring an escort with you to escort you home again!
Good luck you'll be fine!

I'm a dentist.
Not only did I have my wisdom teeth out under IV sedation, I have also performed many sedations myself.
The medications work quickly, and provided you are not one of those people who is "resistant" to the effects, onset is quite quick. Literally within 30 seconds, you should start to feel the effects.
Some of the medications, especially Decadron (a steroid given to help minimize swelling) can cause temporary itching. Beyond that, it's a very pleasant process as far as you're concerned.

When I had my wiz tooth pulled December of 06, the oral surgeon stuck a needle into gum side of the wiz tooth. He left the room for 15 minutes, came back, and began sticking in it. Once it was numb, it took 2 minutes for the tooth to come out. He prescribe Vicoden for pain told me to stay away from brushing for the rest of the day. Stitches desolves in less than 2 weeks. Don't even mess with the stitches, it'll cause problems with your gums. Hope you feel better.

All I know is that the nurse told me to count backwards from 10, the next thing I remember is being woken up and taken home. It was nothing to be afraid of.
BTW...I had a local when I had a previous dental surgery, and they didn't fully numb the area! I felt a LOT of the surgery!!

When I had mine out, I was totally put under. I woke up and they put me in a wheelchair and my mom drove me home. Then they gave me mepergans for pain, so I was pretty much asleep for about 3 days afterwards. The only somewhat painful part was the sockets (holes) that are left, you have to waterpick food out of them after you eat for about 2-3 weeks so you don't get an infection (called dry sockets). It's not bad at all, dont listen to horror stories. Good luck!

from my knowledge sedation is the fair way to go.you will feel pretty rough for a few days but dont worry it will soon be right.it is better than the awful pain it can cause when you havnt had it done.best wishes.

You dont need to be sedated, just get a local. Havnt you heard all the horror stories of people being molested in the dentists office while they are under?! Tell them you want a local!!
