Wisdom Teeth Tomorrow, need advice!!!
by gvsupsych23, Aug 14, 2007 12:00AM
Hello Everyone!!
So, I just got a call from my oral surgeons office to confirm my appt for tomorrow at 10:45 AM. So, they asked me if I wanted to go to sleep or stay awake. I really could use the opinions on this!!
She said I have the option of staying awake, and if I freak out they can put me under, but she said all I will feel is the needle but after I'm numbed all I will feel is pressure, and I will be under the nitrous oxide so I will be relaxed. She also said feel free to bring my IPOD To listen to music if I wanted. Has anyone done it this way and had a good/bad experience?
My biggest fear is the anesthesia really. I have never been under before and it really freaks me out. I have seen youtube videos where people have recorded themselves after surgery and are acting ridculous, lol, and have also heard from people that you're really out of it for a while, and it makes some people sick to their stomachs....so I just was trying to avoid it, but I really could use some feedback, so please share!!!! Thanks =) and wish me luck, I'm sure by tonight I'll start paniciking!!

I think it is probably late for my answer but I hope you did well. The type of anesthesia the oral surgeons use is of the sedation type. This type of anesthesia is not deep and is usually very safe.
