i reaaallllyyy need to go have my wisdom tooth pulled, iv been having trouble for ages, but i dont want an injection i really want to be put to sleep.
so my question is what do they use to put you to sleep, is it gas??? reason i ask, i have scoline apnea(basically means i cant break down some anesthetics and muscle relaxents, so i wouldnt wake up cos id be so relaxed and would forget to breathe) so they couldnt use that on me. see im supposed to carry a sensitivity card around with me...but kind lost it about errrm 6 years ago really should replace that

so i dont wanna make a dentist appt to be put to sleep, find out i cant and them have to give me an injection...id rather not go at all

When i was put to sleep dentist wise they put a lil needle in my hand i was literally pinned down to put it in they were lie count to 10 i think i only got to 3 and i was out im such a pansy with needles but like i said ur out so quick u dont even know

I had one out a few months back by local anaesthetic as my wisdom tooth was causing agony

I was terrified, but actually i didn't feel a thing! He just pushed on it and then it just came out! I couldn't believe it!

So if you do need it out and cant go to sleep dont worry about it - the thought is awful but it aint at all bad!

It's usually IV sedation a general anesthetic that they will use Hun. Xxx

I've had a lower back one pulled by local and it wasn't that bad x

I have had wisdom teeth out both ways.

I had one (top right) out by just having it numbed at the dentist and he took it out in about 5 seconds.

The other three I had done all in one go under a general anasthetic which was an injection/drip thingy (that was at the hospital).

They don't really knock you out. I had this
dip put in, and then got+told+to take deep breaths. Then i can't remember much, i remember some tugging and them sayin one tooth is out, some banging in my month from the clamp and then next one+out. Then i+remember being sat up and then having rags put in my month. It+was good. You wasn't ko but you didn't know what was happening x

im terrified of the dentist, so when i had a tooth out i got sedated (best feeling everrrr)

i had my upper wisdom teeth done with local and it was quicker/easier than a filling although a bit horrible for a few days after. when i did work experience in dental surgery we had a lady who was sedated through a canulla in her hand - within 5 minutes she couldn't remember anything, but she experienced the whole thing at the time which was really weird...so was awake and talking, just sedated so she didn't feel anything/remember anything

sedation is amazing! i felt so relaxed

its more having a huge metal needle in my gum that im scared of im such a wuss, if its general anesthetic i dont think ill be able to have it anyway so im just gonna have to bit the bullet x

oooooooooooooooh i have just re read the post and realised you ment needle in the mouth not the one they put u tosleep stupid me xx

When i was younger i had all 4 end teeth out normally because i had too many teeth with a small mouth and they injected me wrong and i was agony (theyre closed down now) so ever since then i wont have the injection in the mouth or have teeth polished theyve really put me off x

Hubby is having one out next week under local - not happy & feel nervous for him! - hope it pops out like your Lisa The needles are really really fine btw gemz, I had teeth out when younger - it's the after wards ache that's not so much fun, that and the gap in your mouth! Hope it goes well xx
