Kava before wisdom tooth extraction?

Kava before wisdom tooth extraction?

Hello,

I have cavities in my two remaining wisdom teeth in the top of my mouth. I'm 30 and I tend to get increased anxiety while in doctor's offices, especially during oral surgery.  Is there a contraindication with the relaxing herb kava and regular novacaine used in a local anesthisia situation?

I don't know for sure.  If you're nervous, ask your dentist for sedation of some sort.  Either laughing gas, a sleeping pill or a combination of the two.  You may also want to be put out completely with an IV instead.
