Hello.
I'm supposed to have two Lower wisdom teeth removed but I'm very anxious about the medications and their effects. I am particularly worried about the local anesthetic.
What type of local anesthetic is typically used for Lower wisdom teeth removal? They are not impacted and are both partially erupted, although one is slightly crooked. I would be under oral sedation and it would be done by a regular dentist not surgeon.
I really dislike being numb after the dentist and am wondering how long the numbness from the local typically lasts after this type of Removal? I've read that some anesthetics last up to 12 hours and I really don't want that. I would rather feel pain than be frozen. Is it possible to request a shorter lasting anesthetic?
Thanks!
