When they remove your wisdom teeth do they knock you out.??
Question: I got to get my wisdom teeth removed, {causing way to many problems in there } and i am really scared. do they put you to sleep while they take them out. ? and how long does it take? and how do they put you to sleep?
Answers: You are only sedated if the teeth can't be easily removed. I received an injection to put me out. My bottom wisdom teeth were really impacted. They were growing in sideways. I was sedated while they were removed. Took about an hour and a half I think. It wasn't that bad. The dentist gave me meds, and specific instructions to reduce pain and swelling. Biggest bummer was I couldn't eat anything but mashed potatoes for about 3 days. My top ones were easy. Just a local numb in the top and had them come out.
Don't be scared. If you trust your dentist, you should have no fear. Make sure you take your meds, and get an ice pack for your jaw. Have someone drive you. You will need to take a couple days off work. Only eat soft stuff. No meat or anything your have to really chew. Also, if you have any stitches, don't drink soda. The carbonation will dissolve the sutures and cause problems. Also, don't use a straw. You will suck out the clot and get a dry socket. VERY PAINFUL. Follow the instructions closely, and you will be fine. Expect a little discomfort, but it will pass.
lol-No need to panic. They may very well put you to sleep. I have had it done many times-many oral surgeries. It is not a big deal. You may get an IV but you will survive it. Better to be asleep then awake. You will recuperate the same day-just have a sore mouth.
It depends. Normally they do. If they do, they will use a gas to knock you out. You simply go to sleep and wake up and your teeth are gone. Don't worry about it, it will be fine.
I got all 4 of mine done with local anisthetic and would recommend you do the same if the dentist approves. Unless there's some special problem that you have, it's not a big deal.
Stop being such a baby.
they shouldn't put you to sleep, I have had three removed and I was awake for them all. It doesn't take very long. more time waiting for the freezing to take effect. You will be fine. Take advil for pain because its antiinflammatory, T3s' don't work as well. make sure not to smoke or drink out of a straw, for 24 hours after, you could give yourself dry socket, and that sucks, ask your dentist.
Good Luck
Usually not. They extract them same way they extract other teeth. They numb the gum with an injection or two and then pull out the wisdom tooth. It doesn't hurt while this is being done, but once the anaesthetic wears off, you might have to take a pain-killer. It's easier if you relax and not keep thinking of the pain.
They didn't knock me out when they pulled mine. They just gave me shots in my gums to numb me really well. The only thing I could feel was pressure when they pulled them, no pain. They should only do one side of your mouth at a time or else you won't be able to chew your food. They did my top and bottom on one side and then the top and bottom on my other side 2 weeks later. It's not really a big deal. You'll have more problems by keeping the wisdom teeth in the long run. Good luck!
My gf just got hers taken out today.
You have to go to an oral surgeon to get knocked out.
She did. All four took about an hour. Didn't feel a thing
Yes, they usually put you to sleep. Don't be afraid though.. the people who do it are highly trained. The actual surgery takes about an hour or two, but it will feel like seconds to you. You will be groggy when you wake up, but you really won't care.. you'll be very relaxed.
They only put you to sleep if that is what is recommended for you. For most people they just use novocaine.
they didnt put me to sleep
tell them your scared ask for gas
when they stick the needle in your gum for numming and ask you if you can feel them say yes
youll feel great
I had all 4 of my wisdom teeth taken out in one office visit- and I was not put to sleep- they gave me shots in the gums to numb the areas- it did not hurt at all- I felt pressure now and then- but it did not hurt- I was a little sore after the numbness wore off- there was not enough room in my mouth for my wisdom teeth- it made my jaw, mouth, head, neck and ear hurt- It was a nice relief. D
They didn't put me to sleep with my first two i had removed when i was in the military. The other ones i had a civilian dentist do and he put me to sleep which was much better. Ask your dentist which way they do or better yet if you could decide. Definitely go with being knocked out. I couldn't tell you how long it took. One minute they were putting medicine in a iv thing, the next thing i remember i was waking up and being helped back to a waiting room where someone was waiting to take me home. It was not a bad experience.
When I had mine removed I was SEVERELY medicated, but awake; I hardly remember a thing. I felt NO pain at all, and was apparently very giggly afterwards.... thank you Valium!
When my BFF had hers removed, she was totally out, and woke up a little bit afterwards; she felt NO pain either.
It all depends on your doctor and what you want. Talk to your DR and tell them about your fears, they are GREAT about talking to you about what your options are and explaining how simple and routine the procedure is.
Don't worry, it's a breeze, and you get to eat ice cream & pudding for a week! It rocks!!!!!
:o)
I wasn't, I just had basic anesthetic. It didn't hurt, I felt the enormous pressure of him pushing on the tooth, but it didn't hurt.
They can do it both ways. Depends on what you want. If your a bad patient and not very cooperative, anxious, or have problems during procedures they will probably sedate you. You said that you are scared so they might want to sedate you. It will cost more, but definately worth it in most cases. The length of the procedure depends on how the tooth is positioned, how erupted it is, and how difficult it is for the doctor. For most dental IV sedations they administer demerol and versed or some other similar combination. The demerol is for the pain and the versed helps to sedate. With this you will not be knocked out but more closely to being asleep and groggy. You can be awakened during the procedure and follow commands and give answers but you don't remember because versed also has amnesic properties. This can also be helpful so you don't remember if you experienced pain during the procedure. Hope this helps.
Yes and no---meaning in some wisdom teeth extractions they are simple, straight forward and even a general dentist can extract them without having to use heavy sedation. A simple shot that numbs the teeth and the person is not knocked out .
NOW, if the patient requests to get knocked out as it appears this might be what you want to do (possibly being a little apprehensive) there are several methods the dentist or oral surgeon can offer you:
1.) Oral Sedation: they give you a pill and you get very relaxed and some patients go to sleep
2.) IV Sedation: they give you the sleeping medicine through a small needle in your vein.
How long does this knock out stuff work ?-- it depends on the amount of drugs administered, but usually what happens is that they control it for the duration of your dental visit and then reverse the drug so that you awake shortly after the procedure.
It is not something you can do without having a partner drive you to and from your dental appointment. So find a friend or family member that you can trust to help you with this.
You also asked how long the wisdom teeth extraction visit will take.
Simple extractions take minimal time --starting at as little as 10-30 minutes to approx. 1 hour each.
The more complex extractions can take as long as a couple of hours per tooth. Your surgeon can predict the length of the appt. once he views your x-rays---but keep in mind that it is just an estimate---complications with the bone and root can happen causing an extension to the original estimated time.
DON'T WORRY, okay--- keep a positive mind-set---Get a great surgeon-- and ask for sedation if you want it---ask for the style of sedation that sounds best for you. Follow your doctor's orders for post-op care instructions and make your post-op visit with your doc.
You will do great--- and will have your problems disappear once those wisdom teeth are out and you'll be smiling and happy you had them taken out.
Take good care.
Well, I wasn't put under. He gave me the needle to the mouth. thought it was numb and kept going. Then repeatedly stabbed my jaw over and over till i was numb, then stitched my cheek to where my tooth used to be. His work was done on the 23 of April, and i am still hurting so terrible bad, but i do have to say i am trying to make a formal complaint against him for leaving a hole in the side of my face and giving me this scar. Really it all boils down to if you have a good dentist who knows what he is doing and if hes willing to be a careful and caring dentist.
