Your oral surgeon may use one or more types of anesthesia like local sedation and generally
depend upon the severity of the problem during the extraction procedure to match your
comfort level.
If he/she uses:
Local anesthesia:
Your oral surgeon can give you local anesthesia with one or more injections near the area of
each extraction. The affected area will be numbed but you will be awakened during the
procedure and you will have some pressure and movement and you won’t experience any
pain.
Sedation anesthesia:
The sedation anesthesia will be given through an intravenous injection by your surgeon in
your arm. It will help to put down your consciousness during the procedure. You won’t feel
any pain and no memory or little memory of the procedure. The surgeon will also inject local
anesthesia to numb the gum area.
General anesthesia:
In some special cases, it may be necessary to get general anesthesia. In this type of
anesthesia, the surgeon may make you inhale medication through your nose and an IV
injection in your arm or both to get you lost consciousness. The surgical team will stay with
you to monitor your medical conditions like medication, breathing, temperature, and blood
pressure. In addition, he/she will give you local anesthesia to numb the gum area. You won’t
feel any pain and have no memory of the procedure.
After administering the anesthesia, the surgeon will complete the procedure of wisdom teeth
removal near me in the following steps:
● He/She will make a cut in the gum tissue to expose the tooth and bone.
