1st appt in decades ((((Panic))))

How many extractions are possible in one visit?
I have 8 top front teeth. They are all broken off at or
below the gum line. Would it be unreasonable to ask
they be removed in one sitting?
I'm sure I don't have the courage to take this slowly.
I'll be seen in a rural clinic about an hour away. I don't
expect any frills since I'm a Medicaid pt. Which brings me to another question.
Are all DDS's able to provide sedation?
Many Thanks in advance

If there is no medical limitation, it can be done.

It differs between countries. In some countries every general dentist can perform sedation, however it is strongly advised to go to someone with the knowledge and experience. Sedation is not something you want to take risks with.
