Hello all,
I am 41 year old male. Only two of my wisdom teeth came out, both bottom ones. They both grew like normal and are not impacted in any way and my dentist said they are like normal molars. Anyway, one wisdom tooth got a crack under the gum line and I was told it would have to be removed.
I had an X-Ray and consultation in March and was told that they think the extraction will be straightforward - the tooth has fully erupted and its not close to the facial nerve. Finally been told I am having it extracted sometime in August. During the consultation I was asked if I wanted the conscious sedation but I said no, local anaesthetic will be fine. The truth is, an injection in my arm followed by a lack of consciousness sounds scarier to me than having a local. I hate injections but am weirdly ok with gum injections. Last year I had my first filling and was amazed at how easy it was and how I didnt feel anything.
BUT since reading these forums everyone seems to think that the conscious sedation is the easy and far away best choice and I am beginning to wonder if local is the best way to go for me.
Any advice?
