Thank you for making this video and explaining the differences between the two different sedation methods. I need my upper wisdom teeth extracted but have agonizing dental anxiety and you have helped me make clear in my mind the best option for me. I have not been sedated before and I do not intend to find out if I have a high tolerance to oral sedation as I'm going in for my wisdom tooth extraction. I will definitely make sure my regular dentist refers me to a clinic that can provide me with IV sedation. Thank you again Dr. Choi :)
I’ve had two wisdom teeth removed last year . I was a wreck with anxiety, I cried through everything , so the surgeon recommended IV sedation. I freaked out more because I’m not good with needles , nor am I fond of being in a twilight zone . But it was a little pinch on the back of my hand , and seriously I was out not even a min later . I don’t remember a thing . Now I have to remove 01 and 32 and I’m getting afraid again . This video calms me a bit but I know I’ll be a wreck once more . Oh and when I work up I wasn’t disoriented like I see some ppl on here . I was just very somber and hungry . Lol
I have really bad anxiety and just thinking about my wisdom tooth extraction gives me a panic attack. My parents don’t want me to get the IV sedation because they’re scared that I might di3 and also it may be too expensive for us. I don’t know what to do, I’m sure if I don’t get at least laughing gas I’m gonna pass out and just freak out. I know it’s a quick procedure and all but I can’t help my anxiety :/
@@dotdot550 i feel you 1000% idk if i should do IV or go to ER at hospital and do General anesthesia that mask you just breathe and then fall asleep? i have severe panic attacks, so dont know what to do
👋 Anyone reading the comments about to have their surgery … let me explain my experience. ( I got them out 5 hours ago ) I WAS A NERVOUS WRECK before hand watching every video possible reading all experiences on reddit and comments on these videos from the good ones to the bad ones. I’ve been nervous since they told me last year they were coming in. It was a peice of CAKE for the people like me who have severe anxiety about medical stuff you will be just fine! I wasn’t worried about the recovery more so the surgery itself, and a little stressed about the IV ( i was put to sleep with IV sedation ) the IV was NOTHING me and the assistant were giggling and I was asking if I should watch him put it in or look away and he promised me it was nothing and maybe id enjoy watching it go in.. I looked away 😭 but it barley felt like anything, like a poke a tiny little prick. they put the thing on to check my blood pressure every 5 minutes and the thing on ur thumb along with some like patches they put on my lower side and chest. Sat there for about 30 minutes with the IV in my arm until the doctor was ready. He came in asked how I was lowered the chair down and put this thing on my neck to monitor my breathing I think he said,, and then he released THE GOOD ( the fluids into the IV ) it was a crazy experience.. like i was out but wasn’t ? all i last remember is seeing is the light and then within seconds it was done. I was so stressed for NOTHING. so glad I went with IV sedation because I didn’t feel a darn thing! 😂 and the loopyness afterwards ain’t all that bad either. I would definitely do it over again and take away all the stress from before because it was nothing.
Hi, Pls i need advise so badly. Like you i have severe anxiety. I need root canal treatment on the lower molar and i am terrified of the NUMBNESS. I am afraid of waking up and not being able to breathe or swallow my saliva and all that. I have been a total wreck. Pls explain how was the numbness. Can u feel your tongue or your throat? pls pls help me. I cant sleep or eat
@@lovemeyouall hi! so with my iv sedation they numbed me up after I was “asleep” so I have no recollection of getting numbed. In most cases I’m sure they numb you after you’re “asleep”. I’ve had a tooth removed without sedation and just numbing and it was completely fine! you’re still able to breathe. just after the fact the side that you’re getting the tooth worked on will be numb so say you got your left bottom molar your left cheek and that half of your chin will be numb to the touch. that side of your tongue will most likely be as well, but it isn’t bad at all! it wears off and you’ll be fine :) your throat isn’t effected my the numbing at all so breathing will be completely normal.
I am had bad experience with dentist over 20 years ago, and I never went back again due to anxiety, till last month I cracked my tooth. I was so scared from the date I made the appt, research everything online. My dentist gave me a crushed pill, and within 20 mins I feel sleepy, and I saw she gave my 10 shots in my mouth, but by then, all I remember was like‘ whatever’. And three hours felt like 10 mins, and everything was like twilight.. now I’m not afraid of going back lol. If I can go through it, anyone could.
Turtle i just had a full mouth including wisdom teeth extraction a week ago yesterday the iv is not that bad at all! I felt nothing at all i woke up once during the procedure for like 45 seconds then passed right back out. That is the ONLY MEMORY i have.
Had my impacted wisdom teeth removed very recently. I'm not sure without all being explained, but they had to repair something in the tissue along with the extraction. They gave me general anesthesia. My doctor gave something before that made me very comfortable through an IV, and when gave me the final dose I remember waking up after it was done. I'm 24 years old, and much too late on getting them removed. As a result of them not being removed sooner, I've created a lot of issues in my mouth I still need to get fixed. A lot of oral surgeon's are specialized in sedation. The worst of the pain came after the medicine wore off about 5 hours later. The procedure itself isn't bad. Take care of yourselves, and be healthy! Get those impacted wisdoms out!
Ah man was it that bad? Im also 24 as of the beginning of May. All of mine are impacted but the bottom right is the only one that has actually come up. Now it smells a bit nasty so I'm seeing an oral surgeon about it on Monday. I'm guessing I'll need to be put out. Any tips?
@@enterprisewhiskey8999 can't eat anything or drink anything the night before the procedure and if they don't offer it part of that post treatment ask for pain medication. They gave me hydrocodone which is a really strong pain med. I didn't have to ask they sent me home with a 14 day prescription. Just take the meds and follow all of the post opt instructions to avoid dry socket. The worst of the pain for me was gone by day 3 it was massively painful for me but the pain meds really helped me sleep at night. So dont be afraid to ask.
@@stephennelson7031 for non impacted teeth the pain is said to be a lot better. your oral surgeon will be able to prescribe you pain medication. go and get it done it causes a lot of unecessary issues in your mouth that will end causing more pain and money. they prescribed hydrocodne which is basicly vicoden. the medication is very effective for pain. go and get it done
I had all 4 of my wisdom teeth removed when I was younger. I was IV sedated, but was able to subconsciously answer to commands. I wasn't fully under, but don't remember much. I'm terrified of needles in my arm, and started hyperventilating at first. Someone rushed in with an oxygen mask, then a few minutes later I was out. I think it's called twilight sedation. Last week, I got my second molar extracted. They just numbed my mouth with two shots. I didn't feel any pain afterwards, but it was an uncomfortable experience. I could hear my tooth cracking and being pulled out. I just kind of zoned out during the procedure because the sounds and pressure made me very uncomfortable. I know everyones experience is different, though. Mine was a molar, which has 3 roots. Not to mention, the tooth was severely infected and had a huge cavity, all the way below the gum line.
I’m having a semi impacted wisdom tooth removed next week. My current dentist refuses to sedate me even though I’ve had a medical emergency there before due to the adrenaline in the local anesthetic (I have high blood pressure). Last time I had impacted wisdom teeth removed I was fully IV sedated with Ketamine and the procedure was a breeze and I came out of the clinic very happy. So, this time I’ve taken things into my own hands as I need this wisdom tooth out urgently. I’ll be taking Xanax before the procedure to maintain my sanity and keep my blood pressure down. I rarely take it, so I’m used to the effects of a lower dose. I’m just going to double my dose on the day. I feel that impacted wisdom tooth removal on a patient without sedation that previously had to have an ambulance called due to a huge adrenaline spike (felt like a heart attack) from the numbing injections is absolutely barbaric.
Sorry this is long but I haven't been to the dentist in a few years because once I became an adult do to my terminal illness my health has really started going down the drain. I am going to be scheduling an appointment once this craziness from this virus is over. We finally got my health stable but not going back up. Now I do require a 24/7 nurse to be with me at all time because my health problems can flare up at any given time. And it's especially best that she's with me when I am receiving IV therapy I get IV therapy every day. I'm on a 24/7 feeding pump so she manages that along with my IV machine by making the feeding go in faster and slower as needed I'm on a continuous oxygen monitor so that way if my oxygen does drop she can help Me by getting my oxygen concentrator on me and going . and I am a fall risk so when I walk she is my support. But anyways this probably depends on the particular dental office and the provider but will the hygienist and the dentist allow my nurse to be right by me the entire time during my dental appointment and if I do have to have a procedure done that requires some form of sedation? Because if I need some help she has to be there to help me out. She even needs to help me get up and lay down on the chair because I lost a lot of strength. And if the oxygen monitor slows down on the beeping she has to be able to be right by me to get my oxygen concentrator on me and started. I'm a bit nervous to go because one haven't been in a couple years two it's the first time that I will be going with all these changes such as all the equipment and me needing my nurse / caregiver by me at all times I know that whenever I do have to go under sedation I wouldn't be on my feeding but when it comes to just regular exams and cleanings I would be on my continuous feeding. And another thing since my nurse has to stick me with an IV every time she gives some of my Iv treatments she knows how my veins work the best and the best ways to start one on me. I also have what's called a mediport and that always has an IV in it to give me continuous IV medications the peripheral IV is just for medications given certain times throughout the day. Due to the surgeries that I had where I required a ventilator and due to the liquid iron I was taking at the time I do know that when I do go I'm going to need a little bit of dental work done.
Do you recommend alveoplasty with extractions for denture? I had four bad extactions band can't open mouth. I had a flap surgery years ago and took a year to recover. I'm scared of pain because already a year of pain.
oh man…when I was 19 I got my wisdom teeth removed with no sedation of any form. Just some shots in the mouth and he told me to bring iPod to listen to music. I still heard the sawing, cracking and felt the pulling. It was scary lol sigh I even drove home by myself that day sigh. Lol this was in Canada hahaha
I have an impact wisdom tooth on the upper left side of my mouth and my dentist wants to remove it but he wants to numb it with needles I'm so scared because I have high blood pressure and I'm a type 2 diabetic I'm really scared I don't think I'm going to let him do it
Do you think would work for a hot wisdom tooth 🤔 because I hate pills 💊 an and I can't really talk to them if I'm under sedation so would it be better just to go in and go through the pain I'm not really worried so I don't understand why the pills and the gas that they want to give me I don't want to go through with it now
How many doses of IV sedation do you administer for your patient? My dentist is proposing administering IV sedation every 15 minutes which seems excessive for extraction of two lower wisdom teeth. Thoughts?
I’m getting two wisdom teeth extracted tomorrow, one broke during summer and the patch recently failed, the other apparently looks like it’s gonna break soon, the specialist told me it would be IV sedation and I freaked out and froze, sent an email after explaining what happened and how I don’t want IV sedation so they said not a problem we can do it with just local freezing so that’s what I’m gonna do, I might in the future need my other two out too they said but I wasn’t ready to do all four right now cause it’s only the one that’s caused me problems and I like having them but maybe in the future I’ll consider accepting the sedation, the thought of sedation terrifies me but at the same time after they changed it for me I started wondering why they didn’t offer just local in the first place if it’s possible to do it that way, is IV sedation really the best for extracting wisdom teeth, should I have just sucked it up and went along with it, and that’s how I’ve now landed on a video about sedation, thank you Edit to add, my fear of the sedation isn’t because of needles but rather because I experience psychosis and currently not in an episode so I’m scared of loosing reality with sedation (as I’ve heard that’s what happens, like when you wake up you’re awake but out of it still for a while) and it triggering an episode when it wears off, and although I’ve asked other with psychosis and they said my fears make sense but it it’s not what happened for them/it actually felt nice for them to be out for a while and whatnot I still can’t help but worry it would trigger an episode and I’m quite happy not being in psychosis right now and for the last year, lol
I had 3 wisdom teeth pulled when I was 18 with just numbing and boy let me tell you what a ride that was what doesn’t kill yeah makes you stronger right I’m 28 now going in to have 3 more teeth extracted including my last wisdom tooth.
I only get IV sedation on extractions.Had my wisdom teeth out and 2 molars this way and remember nothing about the procedure.They say your awake whole time but I swear I was completely out unconscious through everything which seemed like only minutes.
The problem for me is I can’t take pills 😞 that’s the only thing I’m worried about whether they give it to me to actually sedate me or just antibiotics/painkillers I won’t be able to take them, gosh extractions (I’m getting all 4) r happening tmr and I’m nervous hopefully I’m ok with iv sedation but I heard its not cheap
same I’m going for my second consultation with my oral surgeon Dr. Kerr here at Interface Oral Surgery Centre here in Canada 🇨🇦 and I’m really still scared and nervous but my dentist and orthodontist want me to have my only 2 lower wisdoms and then my uppers aren’t wisdoms they’re my 2nd molars from my childhood got impacted and never came in normally so I only have 2 wisdoms on the lower but one has starting hurting me but I haven’t told my oral surgeon only my orthodontist knew about it when I went to go see him my nicer dentist Dr. Dunn who used to work with my family dentist Dr. Susan Rumble at South London Dental Care Centre and now my other dentist works right around the corner from my family dentist told me to go and see my favourite childhood orthodontist for him to check my lower left wisdom and he said I’ll have pain and discomfort he told me if it still hurt to come back and see him but then Covid happened so his office closed but now my other dentist Dr. Andersen she told me on Monday at my cleaning that I needed my wisdoms and my impacted 2nd molars removed I’m lucky I only have 2 wisdoms but I’m feeling the same as you don’t Worry you got this we’re in this together my mom thinks my oral surgeon can work around my medication issues when my mom and my dentist talked about having my wisdoms removed and because I’m sensitive if you talk about the surgery around me because I’m very scared I’ve put it off ever since Thanksgiving/ Easter of 2017 and in 2017 I was 15 but now I’m 20 going on 21 in May my aunt told me that my cousin who is a family dentist could remove my wisdoms put he only does it awake and I don’t want to feel anything at all I also have trauma from this girl that one time I walked in for my cleaning I was coming in and she was walking out my dentists husband had told this girl to have her wisdoms removed and she didn’t want to so her parents went in to talk to my dentist and her husband who also does extractions and they told her she needed them out and she walked out crying both of her parents were holding her hands on both sides and also her face was tomato red it freaked me out but hopefully she got help but now I have to have another consultation for real” this time because my last consultation was in 2021 and I had my head down the whole time and I also brang stuffed animals with me because I didn’t wanna either but now this is for real I’m going to try bringing in my cousin Olivia who also has been through multiple surgeries because she was born with a body tumor and she has been through a lot but I think she also has her wisdoms but she ain’t scared of anything but she’ll try to be there for me during the consultation because my oral surgeon told my mom at the last consultation “ there’s none concerns at all but with me I’m sensitive I don’t know if I should do it in his office or at the hospital due to me not being able to tolerate pain medications I only can take liquid medication because in 2020 I woke up with a pilonidal cyst on my tailbone and it hurt a lot and the doctor at the walk in clinic is like” we don’t have any kids pain medication we only have pills” and me and my mom had a very hard time for me to take my pills but I eventually got them down with food and orange juice but never again I would of have to have had surgery for my cyst if I hadn’t of taken anything for the pain because my dad had a pilonidal cyst growing up as well and it hurts a ton but also it’s the same thing with my wisdoms my oral surgeon found an Odontogenic Cyst in my mouth he had seen on my Panoramic X-ray so he told me and my mom he’ll take it out during surgery or he would send me to another specialist but I don’t wanna I already went to go and see an Endodontics a root canal doctor and it was really weird why I was sent there but never again just more medicine that I can’t tolerate but he noticed I have sinus issues because I’ve been noticing that I’m a mouth breather i seem to not be breathing through my nose and also I can’t suction cup my tongue to my roof of my mouth because during my second Panoramic Xray on Monday after my cleaning the dental assistant told me to suction cup my tongue on the roof of my mouth but I couldn’t due to my breathing issues I was also supposed to go and see the ENT ears, nose and throat doctor but due to Covid it didn’t end up happening but maybe I’ll still go when I switch dentists. 🤗🩷🦷🦷
I have long roots I can’t get numb enough.. I feel extractions and all the drilling .. I absolutely hate going to the dentist it’s truly a torture session not exaggerating
With nitrous and numbing you won't feel anything either, just a little pinch or two when they give the numbing shot. With nitrous you will be so relaxed that you simply will not care what they are doing. I was an anxious mess when they put me on nitrous and had no problems during or after the procedure.
@@IneffableFoxy Are you saying the nitrous oxide made you anxious? Or it helped the anxiety? I’m getting mine taken out this weak and I deal with anxiety around these kinds of things, Im trying to figure out if I want to have the nitrous oxide or be completely put under 😓
I have to get my to wisdom tooth pushed out because it's pushing towards the bone and my bottom teeth and I'm so scared because I don't trust my body I feel like my body is going to betrayed me and not wake me up I don't know I just have bad feelings about getting put under knife 😢😢
I do have some degree of anxiety when it comes to the dentist. For the most part, going to the dentist is fine. Yes, every now and then something will happen. However when it comes to extractions, I had nothing but bad experiences. I have two upcoming extractions and I asked a new dentist about oral sedation. It all seems fine on paper, but I do have one concern. I take a very low dose of alprazolam for general anxiety. I have been taking this drug for about 10 years and it usually takes about 2 hours to kick in. I saw the other oral drug available but they all seem to part of the benzo family. My worry is that my tolerance to alprazolam will hinder the sedative of the other benzos? I will consult with my dentist and voice my concerns. I don’t mind root canals, dental fillings, etc. Only extractions I have a big fear of.
I have really bad dental anxiety and I feel like it is absolutely barbaric to drill and extract teeth while the patient is awake in this day and age. I’ve been avoiding getting a root canal for months and start shaking at the mere thought of getting it done
@@ap-zj7zo no not at ALL i had to leave because they were trying to do my root canal and pull 2 teeth out after i told them i didnt feel anything and wasnt gonna let that happen while i was awake and they didnt even have laughing gas either , so i just made a new appointment at a new dentist who has laughing gas/nitrous oxide and valium that will be putting me to sleep , i have severe anxiety going to the dentist.
@@karahleanna8646 yikes, sorry to hear that. I’m the same way with dental anxiety, I have a root canal scheduled with a sedation dentist that doesn’t offer gas as well 😕 hopefully the halcion works for me. thx for the response & hope your next appt goes well
My dentist pulled my wisdom teeth 32 yrs ago (I was 16). All I got was the gas and what seemed like a million shots. I was awake the whole time but couldn't feel much.
I'm going in for my third consultation on a full upper zirconia implant. I have no fear of dentists whatsoever, I have no fear of Novocaine or Lidocaine, although Lidocaine did make me dizzy. That being said, a needle in my arm is a deal breaker. I rather go through the rest of my life with no teeth then take a needle in my arm. I understand it's safe and the preferred method of sedation for longer surgery, but I would only consider it if they knocked me out first with pills. I have an uncanny fear of needles outside my mouth for whatever reason. Why Novocaine never bothered me, I don't know, but it simply doesn't, but stretch out my arm and start looking for that vein and I would simply pass out cold. I did that during a blood test, I simply fell out. I had a panic attack before the needle even went into my arm! I've gone through braces as a kid, then veneers, then crowns, root canals, and I don't bat an eyelash, no fear at all, and now I need a full upper implant and really, I don't know how to handle this fear other then simply not having it done, period. My third consultation is the end of March and that's when they'll explain the sedation. Hopefully there are other options, if not, I'm out that door.
So it has nothing to do with the actual stick? Or feeling of the needle entering? Re-directing because they weren't able to insert the catheter or obtain blood sample for draw? Just looking at your arm?
Have you finished your zirconia implant? I am in second opinion territory on the same. I cannot do removable so I am considering the All-on-4 dental implant for my upper teeth. Love to hear how your journey is progressing. I have been taking my time on making this decision and I have had 3 plans I have considered and narrowed to the All-on-4 where I am now getting a second opinion.
@@KDavidMcKee Would you mind briefly sharing your case? What's the reason for the implants(*especially the AO4 procedure). Is it from missing multiples, severe periodontal disease, boneless, combinations or just choice from other circumstances? It's kinda crazy you have seen that many specialist & ALL of em are giving different feedbacks & treatment options. Would drive me absolutely BONKRS! Did you want removable over dentures? Have you looked @ 3 on 6 (instead of being a whole unit denture(upper or lower) and covering alot of your pallet still. The 3 on 6 is essentially (3) bridges, each bridge is connected by two implants. It's much more natural than implants with regards to how you actually can floss/bruss in between teeth and gums clean, doesn't interrupt pallet & taste, also does have the calling between your OG guns & the artificial dentures via implants. Would love to hear your feedback on your journey. 👍🙏
I’m being sedated with the iv in 3-4 hours for all my wisdom teeth plus a tooth next to my wisdom tooth and I’m so scared cause it’s my first time being sedated
My 3-year old will have 2 of her front teeth removed as per her pedia dentist with Oral sedation. I'm scared for my daughter. Is this safe for toddlers?
I'm only removing wisdom out with iv sedation because I had a nightmare wisdom removal, I didn't have dental phobia but because of my horrible wisdom removal I now get the full on sweats, tears, severe anxiety, racing heartbeat when I sit on the chair🤦♀️horrible
Hello I just had my consultation with my oral dr and I’m going iv sedation I’m still kinda nervous because he told me my 2 bottom wisdom teeth are close to the nerve and That my jaw and lip can get numb for good, but then he said it’s safe and he will remove as safe as possible after scaring me 😩 then he checked my air way and said my tongue is a bit far that I might have hard time breathing under sedation also scared me because then he said he had to say something because I have no health issues at all. I’m so nervous now to go under. What should i do please help?
@@irinaf8604 how’d it go?? I’m getting mines soon and like you they told me about that nerve and holy man it freaked me out! I want it out ASAP and my nerve intact 😭 but they said they’d use nitrous oxide which I was bummed to hear because I rather be asleep to ensure I don’t feel a thing
@@Diana-zl3ue Hello I got mine out, everything went well I got them out August 30th and my left bottom is still numb which the doctor said it’s normal to have due to my tooth being so close, he left a little bit of my tooth there not to touch my nerve, healing was fast and didn’t hurt which I was so scared but i had the best doctor. Still waiting on my holes to heal and the numbness to go away. How are you?
IV sedation aggravated my arrhythmia. I was awakened/reversed and after about 30 minutes they performed the extraction with novocaine only, for safety's sake. Except for a couple of needle pricks for the novocaine it was painless. IV sedation is not for everyone.
I had my upper wisdom teeth removed with zero sedation or nitrous oxide. They just numbed me and jerked them out. That was not a fun experience and I was hurting pretty bad right after. Then I had a root canal on an abscessed tooth under nitrous and it was a WORLD of difference. When the nitrous kicks in you literally will not have a care in the world while they work on you. You are aware of what is going on, but you are numb and you just won't give one single crap about anything (but in a good way). Seriously, don't even worry about it. I was terrified because I had heard horror stories about root canals all my life and it was NOTHING. I can tell you that an abscessed tooth is 1000x worse than a root canal, so if you need one, get one. Next week I am having an impacted wisdom tooth removed while under IV sedation, so that will be a new experience.
Removing a bad wisdom tooth this weekend and my surgeon quoted me $575 for the removal and $600 for 4 units of deep IV sedation. The tooth is fully erupted and not impacted. I was told the procedure will take around 15 minutes. I feel like $600 for sedation is ridiculous given the fact that the procedure will only take 15 minutes. Not sure what to do :/
I'm getting my left upper and lower 3rd molars removed. They're doing oral sedation for me. I have to take a pill the night before, a pill the morning of, I get one before, then they may gas me. This video actually freaks me out now 😓
Drea Dree even if things don’t go as I’d like , I appreciate & thank you getting back to me with your experience and opinions ! Your literally the only one giving me hope I can do this lol 😂 but crying inside
Why are you talking like local anesthesia (lidocaine) has been obsolete though 😅I almost never heard anyone opting for the oral sedation for teeth extraction, it's either local or IV
SMOKERS AND VAPERS!: Ive smoked my entire adult life. Do NOT do it for the first 2-3 days. Its VERY difficult, yes. There are many videos showing the "ways to smoke after extraction" - those folks are playing with fire. Nicotine isnt ideal for healing, but the smoking part is what will rip your clots out. Use a tiny nicotine pouch- i use ONN brand i think its called. Any gas station sells them cheap. No, its not the same but its far better than trying cold turkey through this recovery, which is already a shtty situation at times. Vapes are worse with the suction required. Joints/blunts are no better. Just hang on. It SUCKS but if you roll the dice you may wish you had not.
Thank you for making this video and explaining the differences between the two different sedation methods. I need my upper wisdom teeth extracted but have agonizing dental anxiety and you have helped me make clear in my mind the best option for me. I have not been sedated before and I do not intend to find out if I have a high tolerance to oral sedation as I'm going in for my wisdom tooth extraction. I will definitely make sure my regular dentist refers me to a clinic that can provide me with IV sedation. Thank you again Dr. Choi :)
glad to help!
@@northtexasdentalsurgery hi . What about oral sedation with nitrous oxide will patient feel less anxiety
How did you surgery go?
I’ve had two wisdom teeth removed last year . I was a wreck with anxiety, I cried through everything , so the surgeon recommended IV sedation. I freaked out more because I’m not good with needles , nor am I fond of being in a twilight zone . But it was a little pinch on the back of my hand , and seriously I was out not even a min later . I don’t remember a thing . Now I have to remove 01 and 32 and I’m getting afraid again . This video calms me a bit but I know I’ll be a wreck once more .
Oh and when I work up I wasn’t disoriented like I see some ppl on here . I was just very somber and hungry . Lol
How much is it for the iv?
I have really bad anxiety and just thinking about my wisdom tooth extraction gives me a panic attack. My parents don’t want me to get the IV sedation because they’re scared that I might di3 and also it may be too expensive for us. I don’t know what to do, I’m sure if I don’t get at least laughing gas I’m gonna pass out and just freak out. I know it’s a quick procedure and all but I can’t help my anxiety :/
@@dotdot550 i feel you 1000% idk if i should do IV or go to ER at hospital and do General anesthesia that mask you just breathe and then fall asleep? i have severe panic attacks, so dont know what to do
👋 Anyone reading the comments about to have their surgery … let me explain my experience. ( I got them out 5 hours ago ) I WAS A NERVOUS WRECK before hand watching every video possible reading all experiences on reddit and comments on these videos from the good ones to the bad ones. I’ve been nervous since they told me last year they were coming in. It was a peice of CAKE for the people like me who have severe anxiety about medical stuff you will be just fine! I wasn’t worried about the recovery more so the surgery itself, and a little stressed about the IV ( i was put to sleep with IV sedation ) the IV was NOTHING me and the assistant were giggling and I was asking if I should watch him put it in or look away and he promised me it was nothing and maybe id enjoy watching it go in.. I looked away 😭 but it barley felt like anything, like a poke a tiny little prick. they put the thing on to check my blood pressure every 5 minutes and the thing on ur thumb along with some like patches they put on my lower side and chest. Sat there for about 30 minutes with the IV in my arm until the doctor was ready. He came in asked how I was lowered the chair down and put this thing on my neck to monitor my breathing I think he said,, and then he released THE GOOD ( the fluids into the IV ) it was a crazy experience.. like i was out but wasn’t ? all i last remember is seeing is the light and then within seconds it was done. I was so stressed for NOTHING. so glad I went with IV sedation because I didn’t feel a darn thing! 😂 and the loopyness afterwards ain’t all that bad either. I would definitely do it over again and take away all the stress from before because it was nothing.
Hi, Pls i need advise so badly. Like you i have severe anxiety. I need root canal treatment on the lower molar and i am terrified of the NUMBNESS. I am afraid of waking up and not being able to breathe or swallow my saliva and all that. I have been a total wreck. Pls explain how was the numbness. Can u feel your tongue or your throat? pls pls help me. I cant sleep or eat
@@lovemeyouall hi! so with my iv sedation they numbed me up after I was “asleep” so I have no recollection of getting numbed. In most cases I’m sure they numb you after you’re “asleep”. I’ve had a tooth removed without sedation and just numbing and it was completely fine! you’re still able to breathe. just after the fact the side that you’re getting the tooth worked on will be numb so say you got your left bottom molar your left cheek and that half of your chin will be numb to the touch. that side of your tongue will most likely be as well, but it isn’t bad at all! it wears off and you’ll be fine :) your throat isn’t effected my the numbing at all so breathing will be completely normal.
I am had bad experience with dentist over 20 years ago, and I never went back again due to anxiety, till last month I cracked my tooth. I was so scared from the date I made the appt, research everything online. My dentist gave me a crushed pill, and within 20 mins I feel sleepy, and I saw she gave my 10 shots in my mouth, but by then, all I remember was like‘ whatever’. And three hours felt like 10 mins, and everything was like twilight.. now I’m not afraid of going back lol. If I can go through it, anyone could.
What was ur age Jessy and how many tooth was extracted at once, one or two? Is it ok to have 2 lower wisdom done, im 43. N im so nervous
Hiw much u paid for the wisdom tooth extraction, is it more to pay with requesting sedations?
Your going to have to give me the pills just to get the iv
Turtle i just had a full mouth including wisdom teeth extraction a week ago yesterday the iv is not that bad at all! I felt nothing at all i woke up once during the procedure for like 45 seconds then passed right back out. That is the ONLY MEMORY i have.
They gave me anxiety meds cause of my needle fear lil
Had my impacted wisdom teeth removed very recently. I'm not sure without all being explained, but they had to repair something in the tissue along with the extraction. They gave me general anesthesia. My doctor gave something before that made me very comfortable through an IV, and when gave me the final dose I remember waking up after it was done. I'm 24 years old, and much too late on getting them removed. As a result of them not being removed sooner, I've created a lot of issues in my mouth I still need to get fixed. A lot of oral surgeon's are specialized in sedation. The worst of the pain came after the medicine wore off about 5 hours later. The procedure itself isn't bad. Take care of yourselves, and be healthy! Get those impacted wisdoms out!
thanks for sharing!
Ah man was it that bad? Im also 24 as of the beginning of May.
All of mine are impacted but the bottom right is the only one that has actually come up. Now it smells a bit nasty so I'm seeing an oral surgeon about it on Monday. I'm guessing I'll need to be put out.
Any tips?
@@enterprisewhiskey8999 can't eat anything or drink anything the night before the procedure and if they don't offer it part of that post treatment ask for pain medication. They gave me hydrocodone which is a really strong pain med. I didn't have to ask they sent me home with a 14 day prescription. Just take the meds and follow all of the post opt instructions to avoid dry socket. The worst of the pain for me was gone by day 3 it was massively painful for me but the pain meds really helped me sleep at night. So dont be afraid to ask.
Was the pain bearable, I have wisdom teeth that need to come out. They are not impacted. I’m so scared of the pain afterwards.
@@stephennelson7031 for non impacted teeth the pain is said to be a lot better. your oral surgeon will be able to prescribe you pain medication. go and get it done it causes a lot of unecessary issues in your mouth that will end causing more pain and money. they prescribed hydrocodne which is basicly vicoden. the medication is very effective for pain. go and get it done
Great video. Great articulation! Thanks
I had all 4 of my wisdom teeth removed when I was younger. I was IV sedated, but was able to subconsciously answer to commands. I wasn't fully under, but don't remember much. I'm terrified of needles in my arm, and started hyperventilating at first. Someone rushed in with an oxygen mask, then a few minutes later I was out. I think it's called twilight sedation. Last week, I got my second molar extracted. They just numbed my mouth with two shots. I didn't feel any pain afterwards, but it was an uncomfortable experience. I could hear my tooth cracking and being pulled out. I just kind of zoned out during the procedure because the sounds and pressure made me very uncomfortable. I know everyones experience is different, though. Mine was a molar, which has 3 roots. Not to mention, the tooth was severely infected and had a huge cavity, all the way below the gum line.
Excellent explanation😎🖖🏼
I’m having a semi impacted wisdom tooth removed next week.
My current dentist refuses to sedate me even though I’ve had a medical emergency there before due to the adrenaline in the local anesthetic (I have high blood pressure).
Last time I had impacted wisdom teeth removed I was fully IV sedated with Ketamine and the procedure was a breeze and I came out of the clinic very happy.
So, this time I’ve taken things into my own hands as I need this wisdom tooth out urgently. I’ll be taking Xanax before the procedure to maintain my sanity and keep my blood pressure down.
I rarely take it, so I’m used to the effects of a lower dose. I’m just going to double my dose on the day.
I feel that impacted wisdom tooth removal on a patient without sedation that previously had to have an ambulance called due to a huge adrenaline spike (felt like a heart attack) from the numbing injections is absolutely barbaric.
Sorry this is long but I haven't been to the dentist in a few years because once I became an adult do to my terminal illness my health has really started going down the drain. I am going to be scheduling an appointment once this craziness from this virus is over. We finally got my health stable but not going back up. Now I do require a 24/7 nurse to be with me at all time because my health problems can flare up at any given time. And it's especially best that she's with me when I am receiving IV therapy I get IV therapy every day. I'm on a 24/7 feeding pump so she manages that along with my IV machine by making the feeding go in faster and slower as needed I'm on a continuous oxygen monitor so that way if my oxygen does drop she can help Me by getting my oxygen concentrator on me and going . and I am a fall risk so when I walk she is my support. But anyways this probably depends on the particular dental office and the provider but will the hygienist and the dentist allow my nurse to be right by me the entire time during my dental appointment and if I do have to have a procedure done that requires some form of sedation? Because if I need some help she has to be there to help me out. She even needs to help me get up and lay down on the chair because I lost a lot of strength. And if the oxygen monitor slows down on the beeping she has to be able to be right by me to get my oxygen concentrator on me and started. I'm a bit nervous to go because one haven't been in a couple years two it's the first time that I will be going with all these changes such as all the equipment and me needing my nurse / caregiver by me at all times I know that whenever I do have to go under sedation I wouldn't be on my feeding but when it comes to just regular exams and cleanings I would be on my continuous feeding. And another thing since my nurse has to stick me with an IV every time she gives some of my Iv treatments she knows how my veins work the best and the best ways to start one on me. I also have what's called a mediport and that always has an IV in it to give me continuous IV medications the peripheral IV is just for medications given certain times throughout the day. Due to the surgeries that I had where I required a ventilator and due to the liquid iron I was taking at the time I do know that when I do go I'm going to need a little bit of dental work done.
Do you recommend alveoplasty with extractions for denture? I had four bad extactions band can't open mouth. I had a flap surgery years ago and took a year to recover. I'm scared of pain because already a year of pain.
oh man…when I was 19 I got my wisdom teeth removed with no sedation of any form. Just some shots in the mouth and he told me to bring iPod to listen to music. I still heard the sawing, cracking and felt the pulling. It was scary lol sigh I even drove home by myself that day sigh. Lol this was in Canada hahaha
why didn’t you get any sedation ? did you prefer the shots in your mouth ?
I have an impact wisdom tooth on the upper left side of my mouth and my dentist wants to remove it but he wants to numb it with needles I'm so scared because I have high blood pressure and I'm a type 2 diabetic I'm really scared I don't think I'm going to let him do it
I’m getting a needle for my iv sedation do I get nausea and vomiting afterwards, I’ve never had any form of anaesthetic before
Do you think would work for a hot wisdom tooth 🤔 because I hate pills 💊 an and I can't really talk to them if I'm under sedation so would it be better just to go in and go through the pain I'm not really worried so I don't understand why the pills and the gas that they want to give me I don't want to go through with it now
How many doses of IV sedation do you administer for your patient? My dentist is proposing administering IV sedation every 15 minutes which seems excessive for extraction of two lower wisdom teeth. Thoughts?
I’m getting two wisdom teeth extracted tomorrow, one broke during summer and the patch recently failed, the other apparently looks like it’s gonna break soon, the specialist told me it would be IV sedation and I freaked out and froze, sent an email after explaining what happened and how I don’t want IV sedation so they said not a problem we can do it with just local freezing so that’s what I’m gonna do, I might in the future need my other two out too they said but I wasn’t ready to do all four right now cause it’s only the one that’s caused me problems and I like having them but maybe in the future I’ll consider accepting the sedation, the thought of sedation terrifies me but at the same time after they changed it for me I started wondering why they didn’t offer just local in the first place if it’s possible to do it that way, is IV sedation really the best for extracting wisdom teeth, should I have just sucked it up and went along with it, and that’s how I’ve now landed on a video about sedation, thank you
Edit to add, my fear of the sedation isn’t because of needles but rather because I experience psychosis and currently not in an episode so I’m scared of loosing reality with sedation (as I’ve heard that’s what happens, like when you wake up you’re awake but out of it still for a while) and it triggering an episode when it wears off, and although I’ve asked other with psychosis and they said my fears make sense but it it’s not what happened for them/it actually felt nice for them to be out for a while and whatnot I still can’t help but worry it would trigger an episode and I’m quite happy not being in psychosis right now and for the last year, lol
I had a really bad experience I had gotten oral and concious sedat8on. I have a very low pain tolerance. I could feel everything.
I had 3 wisdom teeth pulled when I was 18 with just numbing and boy let me tell you what a ride that was what doesn’t kill yeah makes you stronger right I’m 28 now going in to have 3 more teeth extracted including my last wisdom tooth.
I only get IV sedation on extractions.Had my wisdom teeth out and 2 molars this way and remember nothing about the procedure.They say your awake whole time but I swear I was completely out unconscious through everything which seemed like only minutes.
yup. that's what happens. dont remember anything
One of the sedatives they use is propofal. It's nickname is milk of amnesia lol
The problem for me is I can’t take pills 😞 that’s the only thing I’m worried about whether they give it to me to actually sedate me or just antibiotics/painkillers I won’t be able to take them, gosh extractions (I’m getting all 4) r happening tmr and I’m nervous hopefully I’m ok with iv sedation but I heard its not cheap
same I’m going for my second consultation with my oral surgeon Dr. Kerr here at Interface Oral Surgery Centre here in Canada 🇨🇦 and I’m really still scared and nervous but my dentist and orthodontist want me to have my only 2 lower wisdoms and then my uppers aren’t wisdoms they’re my 2nd molars from my childhood got impacted and never came in normally so I only have 2 wisdoms on the lower but one has starting hurting me but I haven’t told my oral surgeon only my orthodontist knew about it when I went to go see him my nicer dentist Dr. Dunn who used to work with my family dentist Dr. Susan Rumble at South London Dental Care Centre and now my other dentist works right around the corner from my family dentist told me to go and see my favourite childhood orthodontist for him to check my lower left wisdom and he said I’ll have pain and discomfort he told me if it still hurt to come back and see him but then Covid happened so his office closed but now my other dentist Dr. Andersen she told me on Monday at my cleaning that I needed my wisdoms and my impacted 2nd molars removed I’m lucky I only have 2 wisdoms but I’m feeling the same as you don’t Worry you got this we’re in this together my mom thinks my oral surgeon can work around my medication issues when my mom and my dentist talked about having my wisdoms removed and because I’m sensitive if you talk about the surgery around me because I’m very scared I’ve put it off ever since Thanksgiving/ Easter of 2017 and in 2017 I was 15 but now I’m 20 going on 21 in May my aunt told me that my cousin who is a family dentist could remove my wisdoms put he only does it awake and I don’t want to feel anything at all I also have trauma from this girl that one time I walked in for my cleaning I was coming in and she was walking out my dentists husband had told this girl to have her wisdoms removed and she didn’t want to so her parents went in to talk to my dentist and her husband who also does extractions and they told her she needed them out and she walked out crying both of her parents were holding her hands on both sides and also her face was tomato red it freaked me out but hopefully she got help but now I have to have another consultation for real” this time because my last consultation was in 2021 and I had my head down the whole time and I also brang stuffed animals with me because I didn’t wanna either but now this is for real I’m going to try bringing in my cousin Olivia who also has been through multiple surgeries because she was born with a body tumor and she has been through a lot but I think she also has her wisdoms but she ain’t scared of anything but she’ll try to be there for me during the consultation because my oral surgeon told my mom at the last consultation “ there’s none concerns at all but with me I’m sensitive I don’t know if I should do it in his office or at the hospital due to me not being able to tolerate pain medications I only can take liquid medication because in 2020 I woke up with a pilonidal cyst on my tailbone and it hurt a lot and the doctor at the walk in clinic is like” we don’t have any kids pain medication we only have pills” and me and my mom had a very hard time for me to take my pills but I eventually got them down with food and orange juice but never again I would of have to have had surgery for my cyst if I hadn’t of taken anything for the pain because my dad had a pilonidal cyst growing up as well and it hurts a ton but also it’s the same thing with my wisdoms my oral surgeon found an Odontogenic Cyst in my mouth he had seen on my Panoramic X-ray so he told me and my mom he’ll take it out during surgery or he would send me to another specialist but I don’t wanna I already went to go and see an Endodontics a root canal doctor and it was really weird why I was sent there but never again just more medicine that I can’t tolerate but he noticed I have sinus issues because I’ve been noticing that I’m a mouth breather i seem to not be breathing through my nose and also I can’t suction cup my tongue to my roof of my mouth because during my second Panoramic Xray on Monday after my cleaning the dental assistant told me to suction cup my tongue on the roof of my mouth but I couldn’t due to my breathing issues I was also supposed to go and see the ENT ears, nose and throat doctor but due to Covid it didn’t end up happening but maybe I’ll still go when I switch dentists. 🤗🩷🦷🦷
I have long roots I can’t get numb enough.. I feel extractions and all the drilling .. I absolutely hate going to the dentist it’s truly a torture session not exaggerating
definitely get sedated then
Thank you.
My dentist is giving me oral sedation for an all on 6 treatment.. is that right? Lol I’m nervous AF
What about nitrous oxide? I would rather be sedated enough to sleep through, the idea of being awake scares me because I don’t want to feel a thing!
Nitrous oxide is often given before an IV is started to relax the patient. The medication in the IV puts the patient to sleep.
With nitrous and numbing you won't feel anything either, just a little pinch or two when they give the numbing shot. With nitrous you will be so relaxed that you simply will not care what they are doing. I was an anxious mess when they put me on nitrous and had no problems during or after the procedure.
@@IneffableFoxy Are you saying the nitrous oxide made you anxious? Or it helped the anxiety? I’m getting mine taken out this weak and I deal with anxiety around these kinds of things, Im trying to figure out if I want to have the nitrous oxide or be completely put under 😓
@@IneffableFoxy same here. The nitrous made me have trouble keeping my eyes open lol. Didn’t even care when she numbed me
Did you feel them numbing you?
I have to get my to wisdom tooth pushed out because it's pushing towards the bone and my bottom teeth and I'm so scared because I don't trust my body I feel like my body is going to betrayed me and not wake me up I don't know I just have bad feelings about getting put under knife 😢😢
I do have some degree of anxiety when it comes to the dentist. For the most part, going to the dentist is fine. Yes, every now and then something will happen. However when it comes to extractions, I had nothing but bad experiences. I have two upcoming extractions and I asked a new dentist about oral sedation. It all seems fine on paper, but I do have one concern. I take a very low dose of alprazolam for general anxiety. I have been taking this drug for about 10 years and it usually takes about 2 hours to kick in. I saw the other oral drug available but they all seem to part of the benzo family. My worry is that my tolerance to alprazolam will hinder the sedative of the other benzos? I will consult with my dentist and voice my concerns. I don’t mind root canals, dental fillings, etc. Only extractions I have a big fear of.
I have really bad dental anxiety and I feel like it is absolutely barbaric to drill and extract teeth while the patient is awake in this day and age. I’ve been avoiding getting a root canal for months and start shaking at the mere thought of getting it done
Same i have a appt today 😒 they are giving me halcion
@@karahleanna8646 how did the halcion work for you?
@@ap-zj7zo no not at ALL i had to leave because they were trying to do my root canal and pull 2 teeth out after i told them i didnt feel anything and wasnt gonna let that happen while i was awake and they didnt even have laughing gas either , so i just made a new appointment at a new dentist who has laughing gas/nitrous oxide and valium that will be putting me to sleep , i have severe anxiety going to the dentist.
@@ap-zj7zo i even took the 2 doses of the halcion and they crushed another under my tongue and it still didnt work im telling you it does not work
@@karahleanna8646 yikes, sorry to hear that. I’m the same way with dental anxiety, I have a root canal scheduled with a sedation dentist that doesn’t offer gas as well 😕 hopefully the halcion works for me. thx for the response & hope your next appt goes well
My dentist pulled my wisdom teeth 32 yrs ago (I was 16). All I got was the gas and what seemed like a million shots. I was awake the whole time but couldn't feel much.
I'm going in for my third consultation on a full upper zirconia implant. I have no fear of dentists whatsoever, I have no fear of Novocaine or Lidocaine, although Lidocaine did make me dizzy. That being said, a needle in my arm is a deal breaker. I rather go through the rest of my life with no teeth then take a needle in my arm. I understand it's safe and the preferred method of sedation for longer surgery, but I would only consider it if they knocked me out first with pills. I have an uncanny fear of needles outside my mouth for whatever reason. Why Novocaine never bothered me, I don't know, but it simply doesn't, but stretch out my arm and start looking for that vein and I would simply pass out cold. I did that during a blood test, I simply fell out. I had a panic attack before the needle even went into my arm! I've gone through braces as a kid, then veneers, then crowns, root canals, and I don't bat an eyelash, no fear at all, and now I need a full upper implant and really, I don't know how to handle this fear other then simply not having it done, period. My third consultation is the end of March and that's when they'll explain the sedation. Hopefully there are other options, if not, I'm out that door.
sounds good!
So it has nothing to do with the actual stick? Or feeling of the needle entering? Re-directing because they weren't able to insert the catheter or obtain blood sample for draw? Just looking at your arm?
Have you finished your zirconia implant? I am in second opinion territory on the same. I cannot do removable so I am considering the All-on-4 dental implant for my upper teeth. Love to hear how your journey is progressing. I have been taking my time on making this decision and I have had 3 plans I have considered and narrowed to the All-on-4 where I am now getting a second opinion.
@@KDavidMcKee Would you mind briefly sharing your case? What's the reason for the implants(*especially the AO4 procedure). Is it from missing multiples, severe periodontal disease, boneless, combinations or just choice from other circumstances?
It's kinda crazy you have seen that many specialist & ALL of em are giving different feedbacks & treatment options. Would drive me absolutely BONKRS!
Did you want removable over dentures? Have you looked @ 3 on 6 (instead of being a whole unit denture(upper or lower) and covering alot of your pallet still. The 3 on 6 is essentially (3) bridges, each bridge is connected by two implants. It's much more natural than implants with regards to how you actually can floss/bruss in between teeth and gums clean, doesn't interrupt pallet & taste, also does have the calling between your OG guns & the artificial dentures via implants.
Would love to hear your feedback on your journey. 👍🙏
Dentist reply "sounds good". I'd NEVER go to this guy!!!
I need one molar tooth out due to a cavity but I am very nervous. Will laughing has help?
Yes
In my country sedation is not really an option or maybe just not rlly popular. I have had wisdom tooth taken out full sober. Shit is intense ngl
What country
😭intense man you deserve a gold medal 🥇 that’s just insanity😭🙏🙏
If I started a war you would be my general.
I’m being sedated with the iv in 3-4 hours for all my wisdom teeth plus a tooth next to my wisdom tooth and I’m so scared cause it’s my first time being sedated
Thank you for the informative video! I was supposed to have top and bottom extractions, but couldn't get numb. So they scheduled me for sedation.
My 3-year old will have 2 of her front teeth removed as per her pedia dentist with Oral sedation. I'm scared for my daughter. Is this safe for toddlers?
I'm only removing wisdom out with iv sedation because I had a nightmare wisdom removal, I didn't have dental phobia but because of my horrible wisdom removal I now get the full on sweats, tears, severe anxiety, racing heartbeat when I sit on the chair🤦♀️horrible
Thku Jessie i want to go for oral sedation, hope its good!?
Do you still give local anesthetic along with IV sedation?
Yes. They inject your gums after you are out, that way you don't feel pain during or after the procedure when you wake up.
Hello I just had my consultation with my oral dr and I’m going iv sedation I’m still kinda nervous because he told me my 2 bottom wisdom teeth are close to the nerve and That my jaw and lip can get numb for good, but then he said it’s safe and he will remove as safe as possible after scaring me 😩 then he checked my air way and said my tongue is a bit far that I might have hard time breathing under sedation also scared me because then he said he had to say something because I have no health issues at all. I’m so nervous now to go under. What should i do please help?
Shona Dunfee thank you. I’m going tomorrow to get them out 🙈🙏🏻
@@irinaf8604 how’d it go?? I’m getting mines soon and like you they told me about that nerve and holy man it freaked me out! I want it out ASAP and my nerve intact 😭 but they said they’d use nitrous oxide which I was bummed to hear because I rather be asleep to ensure I don’t feel a thing
@@Diana-zl3ue Hello I got mine out, everything went well I got them out August 30th and my left bottom is still numb which the doctor said it’s normal to have due to my tooth being so close, he left a little bit of my tooth there not to touch my nerve, healing was fast and didn’t hurt which I was so scared but i had the best doctor. Still waiting on my holes to heal and the numbness to go away. How are you?
I just want local anesthesia and Im goin outside my insurance to get it bc Idont have anyone to go with me so Ihave to go home alone
What are the effects if you have THC in your system? (Guilty)
Nun I smoked a cart day before my sergery got all 5 of my teeth removed and slept the whole time
Why is oral sedation better for elderly patient?
so which one makes you all wacky after? I DONT want that one
any time u use propofol and you're a dramatic teenager. bad combo!
I opted for oral sedation so why did my dentist tell me he still has to use the novocain? Do the pills not replace the needle?
Novicane numbs your teeth but the pills just help you feel way more relaxed, it would be extremely painful without novicane
Correct
@@northtexasdentalsurgery now I'm scared.
Does either sedation have any interaction with tachycardia or arrhythmia?
Something u could ask your dentist
IV sedation aggravated my arrhythmia. I was awakened/reversed and after about 30 minutes they performed the extraction with novocaine only, for safety's sake. Except for a couple of needle pricks for the novocaine it was painless. IV sedation is not for everyone.
I had my upper wisdom teeth removed with zero sedation or nitrous oxide. They just numbed me and jerked them out. That was not a fun experience and I was hurting pretty bad right after. Then I had a root canal on an abscessed tooth under nitrous and it was a WORLD of difference. When the nitrous kicks in you literally will not have a care in the world while they work on you. You are aware of what is going on, but you are numb and you just won't give one single crap about anything (but in a good way). Seriously, don't even worry about it. I was terrified because I had heard horror stories about root canals all my life and it was NOTHING. I can tell you that an abscessed tooth is 1000x worse than a root canal, so if you need one, get one. Next week I am having an impacted wisdom tooth removed while under IV sedation, so that will be a new experience.
great to hear you had a great experience!
Can you have nitrous and iv meds at same time. I want to be on another planet
yes you can
I got the pills before the iv.
I just took my first bill of the night been about1:45 and I don’t feel any thing now I’m scared again lol
Removing a bad wisdom tooth this weekend and my surgeon quoted me $575 for the removal and $600 for 4 units of deep IV sedation. The tooth is fully erupted and not impacted. I was told the procedure will take around 15 minutes. I feel like $600 for sedation is ridiculous given the fact that the procedure will only take 15 minutes. Not sure what to do :/
ik this is a little late but always ask for other sedation options
Look for another dentist
it wont get much cheaper than that without insurance unfortunately
@@asianleo24 This is a bad idea, always try to stay with the same dentist.. new dentists can mess you up.
Iv’s hurt for a bit but I felt fine
Isnt it like 1000 tho? For the iv sedation ?
Not mine..have them insert at inside bend of arm.I had a small butterfly needle setup
I'm getting my left upper and lower 3rd molars removed. They're doing oral sedation for me. I have to take a pill the night before, a pill the morning of, I get one before, then they may gas me.

It’s not practical with pills to induce sedation

Do we have to get high? I don't want to get high, I must stay sober.
get high
@@northtexasdentalsurgery I see people on CZcams that pull their wisdom teeth in a highish state. I figured it was a reaction to some medication.
😳
SMOKERS AND VAPERS!:
Ive smoked my entire adult life. Do NOT do it for the first 2-3 days. Its VERY difficult, yes. There are many videos showing the "ways to smoke after extraction" - those folks are playing with fire.
Nicotine isnt ideal for healing, but the smoking part is what will rip your clots out.
Use a tiny nicotine pouch- i use ONN brand i think its called. Any gas station sells them cheap.
No, its not the same but its far better than trying cold turkey through this recovery, which is already a shtty situation at times.
Vapes are worse with the suction required. Joints/blunts are no better.
Just hang on. It SUCKS but if you roll the dice you may wish you had not.
Repent now and trust Jesus Christ our Lord and savior please💞🥺
