Hey Everyone,
I have one lower horizontally impacted wisdom tooth that needs to be extracted by an oral surgeon. Has anyone ever gotten an impacted wisdom tooth removed while awake? (no sedation or gas). I am more scared about the possibility of being unconscious than of the actual removal itself. Is there a significant difference between having one removed as opposed to all 4 while you are awake? I know someone who had 4 impacted ones removed while awake and said it wasn't bad at all. I don't freak out about needles and blood and stuff like that. I also have 3 other wisdom teeth that have all come out of the gum and two of them are being pulled out tomorrow by my dentist (not too scared about that, just a little nervous). I have been through a similar experience when I had to get 4 teeth pulled out before I got my braces on so I kind of know what to expect. BTW, I'm 22 years old, will it be a more complicated procedure because I'm a little older than the average patients who have this procedure?
Thanks!
