I have had 2 Wisdom teeth extracted in the space of 2 years %26amp; other front Molars but never was put to sleep, does this mean i wont have to be put to sleep for my current decaying wisdom tooth?
I mean my Wisdom teeth are pretty strong, not different shape or anything nor not too close together.
How do the teeth have to be for it to be a complicated extraction %26amp; being put to sleep, my present decaying wisdom tooth is not too small not too big, so are my chances of NOT being put to sleep high? thanks.
Wisdome tooth extraction %26amp; being put to sleep?
big girl or not be put to sleep nothing worse than a dentist digging in your mouth
Reply:I had a big wisdom tooth out with a huge abscess under it and the injection did not work so I had it out fully awake with no effective pain relief at all. The dentist's big fat wife who was his assistant held me down while the butcher pulled it out.
Reply:How can we answer without seeing them? Only your dentist can answer that, why not ask him or her?
If you are afraid of being put to sleep you can have various forms of sedation including conscious sedation (which means you will remember nothing about it)
Reply:i very much doubt they will put u to sleep unless ure a big girl - ive had 2 out at once and know of friends whove had 4 out at once and been awake
besides if uve not needed general anaesthetic before then its unlikely ull need it now
Reply:Being put to sleep for wisdom tooth extraction is just the way the dentist you are going to does it, there are many dentist out there who don't put you to sleep for extractions but most Oral Surgeons do.
Reply:I'm asuming if your other two wisdom teeth were not complicated and asuming that if you can see the shape of the ones in your mouth and have decay they must have erupted (grown up out of the gum like your other teeth). This would mean that your mouth had enough room, and they grew in the right direction.So these could be a basic ext. However sometimes when extracting molars with large decay the tooth could break leaving a root tip which would require a few more instruments and more time. So if a dentist determines this ahead of time with an xray he may classify this as a surgical ext. Still this could be done with local anesthetic. But there are other factors like your level of anxiety, the shape and position of the roots of these teeth that also play a role in this decision made only by a dentist who has seen your current x ray. Based on the info you provided your chances of not being put to sleep are high. But the dentists diagnosis, and also his preferences are the key to this answer. Hope I helped.
