I'm in the US. I have a wisdom tooth that is horizontal impacted with a cyst, oral surgeon wants to take this one out and do a bone graft and also remove the other horizontal one.
I have never had sedation before and one of the OS I consulted with wanted to do deep sedation (which terrified me as it's so close to General Anesthesia) so I'm getting another consult tomorrow.
Is it at all possible to get this done with just local? Or a light IV sedation, if sedation is absolutely necessary? Is there such a thing as light IV sedation?
What drugs do they use in the US? I'm a light weight and don't drink or have ever had a Tylenol with codeine or anything stronger than a regular tylenol. I'm afraid they're going to give me too much sedation and I will stop breathing, or I'll have a reaction. This is giving me panic attacks and I cannot function or sleep. Please help!
I attached the xray
