As the title says, I have several (7) broken molars that need extracted, I haven’t been to a dentist in years and I’m scared I’m gonna feel the whole thing. Will I? What should I expect? The only dental work I’ve ever had is root canals and fillings.
 
The good thing about sedation is that local anaesthetic works much much better, so chances of feeling anything painful are pretty remote. The sedation drugs change your short term memory so you probably won't recall much about the treatment at all, you will be able to tell the dentist if something is bothering you and they can do something about it.
It's not like you'll be paralysed and unable to speak or anything like that.

Have a read of this:
