there are different types of sedation ,one could be nitrous oxide sedation or intravenous sedation ..in both you will feel droggy and then you will not remember anything

ok thanks
but i do hate needles

I got mine taken out without sedation. They were only two to take out and they were not impacted. So I only waited for the anesthesia to kick in and the dentist took the the two teeth in about two minutes. It was a breeze I was lucky.

okay
im gonna be really nrevous before i ahve them out
i get panic attacks as well so ill probably start shaking lol

ask if you can take a xanax the night before

okay what is xanax

is a sedative medication...google it

Hey charmedwitch.

When I had my wisdom teeth removed in February of this year, they put a small oxygen bulb type thing over my nose (just oxygen, at first) and then inserted an IV (I don't like needles, either, but I only felt a small pinch and then nothing at all). I heard one of the women say "O.k. the smell is going to change a little bit.." and I kinda remember going "Oka....." and that was it; I was out!

I was nervous, too, even though I'd actually already been knocked out once before, for wrist surgery. Before the oral surgery, I was pacing the office waiting room, but once I got back there it was way easy. I woke up in 45 minutes like I was waking up from a nap!

Have you gone in for your consultation, yet? If not, make sure you're honest with them about being nervous while you're there. If you've already gone, call them up and ask to speak to one of the assistants or the oral surgeon. I assure you, you aren't the first person to BE nervous and if they're good at what they do, they'll be able to suggest some things to help you with it (give you something medication wise ahead of time or thigns they do before hand so you don't notice the needles, etc.)

Duchessljb that was nitrous oxide

im going for the consultation this afternoon
to talk to the doctor and get blood pressure taken and
theyl ask me questions about my health and all that

Yep, that I know. But I was relaying what I was told at the time (and they weren't specific at the time).

okay

and today the nurse told me i have to wear a hospital gown
what are you allowed to wera under the gown?
cause ive never has surgery be4

I had to wear a gown for my wrist surgery; they allowed me to wear underwear (no bra) and they gave me little footies so that my feet wouldn't get cold (I was under blankets, but apparently people's feet get cold anyway!).

I had my teeth removed in an Oral Surgeon's office, rather than a hospital, though, so I just wore regular, loose-fitting clothes for that. I did have to remove all metal from my body (I have quite a few piercings), both times.

Are they letting you go right home after the surgery or are they keeping you there for awhile?

okay
they keep u there for an extrra hour

Do you have someone going with you that'll be driving you home?

yep my mum

I had to have someone with me both times, as well (even though I came out of the anesthetic just fine and wasn't even groggy).

Best thing I can suggest is that you remember that you're going to have to get dressed after the surgery, so choose easy to wear, loose clothing and comfortable shoes (preferrably slip on, if you can). Just in case you're groggy and 'out of it' afterwards, you don't want to have a hard time trying to get your clothes back on!

yeah okay
