Good afternoon, I need to have impacted wisdom teeth removed because they have come in at an angle and my dentist said it could cause decay in the teeth in front. The teeth have not erupted at all and have never caused me any problems.
I have a phobia of IV sedation but I do want to have my teeth removed before they cause problems to my other teeth. I am looking for some alternatives to IV sedation which is what everyone has strongly suggested.
I am wondering if any dentists on here know anyone who does impacted wisdom teeth removal while patients are awake or lightly sedated with oral medication/nitrous oxide? Is this an option? Is it manageable for patients or incredibly traumatic? I've never been afraid of the dentist though I am somewhat nervous about the injections because I've heard it requires a lot.
Is the wand anesthesia delivery device an option for a procedure like this? I feel like if I knew the injections weren't going to be bad I would have no problem staying awake.
Please advise.
