Hi guys,
I have to get one lower right partially “bony” impacted tooth out tomorrow and they also want to take the others (only uppers on both sides, full out and never gave me problems. I am 35 and female. (Haha, not sure if that matters)
I already have anxiety disorder but this has me petrified with fear. I even cried at the consult appointment. I can’t eat or sleep.
My fears/questions:
- Shoukd I do IV sedation? I haven’t ever been out under and that scares me in itself. They use Ketamine, Fentanyl and Versed. I’m terrified of having an allergic reaction, not waking up, gagging or chocking and not being able to tell them, or just going through hell but not remembering because of the versed (amnesiac). I know that sounds weird, cause if it is awful, why would you want to remember , but I want to know what’s happening to me.
- Wheter you were put out or not, did you wake up gagging on gauze?
- I had Invisalign braces and couldn’t even use those at first cause they made me gag.
Should I just opt to do one side? I don’t like the idea of my entire throat being numb and feeling like I can’t swallow
If I do IV sedation, will it feel scary as I “go out” how long before I am myself waking up? I hate all those you tube videos of people being crazy. We’re they too sedated? Can I ask for light sedstion?
I am so terrified. Anyone else have these fears? What did you do? What should I do?
I should also mention my dr gave me 20mg of Valium for tonight and to take tomorrow morning. He said he will use laughing gas before he puts me out as well, but maybe I should just do those two?
Is there any chance of waking up in a panic? Or does it feel like Xanax, Valium, benzo feeling?
Thank you and so sorry for all my scared-ness
