Need help!!!!Any Dentist out there?!


Question:

Need help!!!!Any Dentist out there?

I'm 19 years old and have to get my wisdom teeth out. They all will need stiches, three are poking out slightly and one in completly impacted. My dad got his out, the two tops pulled he was fine then my best friend just got hers done today and is feeling horrible. She was knocked out IV and everything. The way I see it I'm going to be numb anyway and I'm fine with needles. I could really care less about vibrations, pushing, sounds and other sensations as long as I can't feel the pain of them comming out. Plus it will be half the cost of going to have an oral surgen do it. I trust my dentist and he's really good. He's not giving me any anethesia just numbing me up and giving me some good pain meds. I would be in pain afterwards if I went to a surgen anyways. Does anyone have experience in doing this in the dentists office? Or any dentist willing to give some advice? You think they could numb me again before I left so it would last longer or is too much novacane bad for you?


Answers:

If you are not squeamish about the sound, vibration, drill...then have no fear. The dentist will freeze you up well. You won't feel pain, but there is an odd pressure feeling that you will experience. Having done many, many of these, if the patient is relaxed about the procedure, then it is a piece of cake. Typical anesthetic lasts 3-4 hours. You could check and see if the dentist can use a 10-12 hour an aesthetic (Marcaine), but I don't know if this is really better. Being numb for that long you run the risk of biting your cheeks or tongue. I would just relax and you said your dentist is good, so trust him to take care of you.
