Okay so I am 16 years old and i have four impacted wisdom teeth. My mother doesn't want to pay for general anesthesia or iv sedation (whatever one you call it). Our insurance doesn't cover it, i think its like 600 dollars or something to be sedated. I EVEN OFFERED TO PAY but my mom told me to suck it up. There is no negotiating so now i have to deal with it. I have four impacted wisdom teeth, all diagonally coming in messing up my teeth, i saw my X-ray and it looks like they are really gonna have to dig for them. I don't have a huge fear of the dentist but my anxiety gets bad. I'm terrible at breathing through my nose and i feel out of breath when i can't breathe successfully. I know they were probably have to cut the tooth up in sections to get it out and i don't want to hear that or feel the blood pooling in my mouth or see it coming out of my mouth. And this may sound stupid but i absolutely HATE the feeling of being numb, i get anxiety attacks over that because i feel like i'm having a stroke or something because my face is numb! If i was knocked out i wouldn't even notice that feeling because i would be drugged. When you are asleep you don't remember the feeling of how they will have to open my mouth insanely wide to get the top ones out. UGHHH. From the forums i've been reading everyone seems to get knocked out, and while i know its totally possible and safe to just get gassed i don't want to remember the feeling, or focus on my breathing, or see or hear anything. So what i would love to know is anybody in a similar situation. Just having novicane and laughing gas when all the teeth are impacted and won't be simply pulled or anything. I am so scared and please don't sugar coat anything i just want to know what to expect. And what it feels to be gassed, and will it ease my anxiety. Thanks
