I was supposed to remove my wisdom teeth over a year, but I procrastinated so I'm getting it done next week.

The question I have for all people who have endured this grueling procedure under GENERAL ANAESTHESIA is, did your dentist administer the anaesthesia himself, or was there a separate anaesthesiologist there present to do the job?

My dentist will be performing the anaesthesia himself. Is this normal? I researched my dentist on the net, and he has a fellowship with the American Dental Society of Anesthesiology , but is that really enough training for him to administer the anaesthesia and monitor my heart (to make sure I don't go into a coma and die) all while extracting my wisdom teeth? I thought you needed another anaesthesiologist there present to monitor your vitals to make sure that everything is ok.

I read that it is very rare, but possible for someone to go under a coma and die from dental anaesthesia, this happened
to a boy in England.... I have never had an IV or anaesthesia before, so this will be the first type of major surgery I'll ever have.

Can you pls post your experience? Thanks

When I had mine removed, there was a seperate anaesthesiologist who administred the drugs, and monitored my vitals.

I wonder why my dentist is doing it himself. His office is accredited with Accreditation for Ambulatory Health Care so hopefull that is good...

I don't even have the chance to ask him any questions because they don't really do consultation visits. I called to make an consultation appointment and they just said, "Come in Friday and don't drink and eat 8 hours before surgery, and bring a driver!".
I guess they just want to get it over with fast.

I hope his credentials mean that he has enough experience to administer the anaesthesia. I'm not sure what "Fellowship with the Dental Society of Anaesthesiology" really means. Is this 2 yrs extra training in Anaesthesiology?

Never get put out unless it is absolutely necessary. The dentist can't concentrate on the procedure and your vital signs at the same time. I had my two top wisdom teeth removed with just a local and I was fine. In fact I was eating sandwiches the next day and never took the painkillers I was prescribed.

I had my wisdom teeth out last year with just a local... it was a memorable experience

The dentist gave me about 8 shots, then proceeded with a dremel type tool, to chop up the impacted tooth and yank it bit by bit. The other three came out quite easily with just a bit of tugging. You might mention your concerns to your dentist and see if he can just do a local as well. Just stand your ground, and there shouldn't be any problem. Expect to look like a chipmunk for a day or two, and pick up some Ensure to have for your first few meals.

You are going to die, im sorry

TurboAngel

I had mine pulled when I was 15, you're going to be in some pain. I don't get why you didn't have them pulled when you were younger.

phogirl69

But my wisdom teeth are impacted though, and they are really deep in my jaw. I hope they don't use a hammer and break my jaw or anything! Plus I'm really scared of dentists, I don't want to feel the intense pressure and grinding noises when they are extracting my teeth...

I just want to know if it's normal for a dentist to administer anaesthesia and extract teeth at the same time... My dentist went to UCLA, so that's good I suppose.... At least he went to a good school and had good training... Why would he want to do anaesthesia and take out my teeth at the same time?

stev0

that sucks.. i might have to get mine out one of these days.

I wouldn't be worried about dying though, you're more likely to die on the way there.

Hi Hun...

Do you have to get your teeth removed?

My dentist says they do it because its hard to clean behind them.
But its not absolutley neccassary.

If it's just him and a dental assistant who's gonna help if something goes horribly wrong? Detoxed may be right, sorry

phogirl69

Because they didn't grow out when I was younger. Also, when I was younger I didn't have health and dental insurance (my mom didn't have much money) so I just went to my uncles' for free check ups since we luckily have a lot of doctors in the family, but no dentists that live close by though.

Also, I'm only having one wisdom teeth removed, I don't want to remove all of them since they are not giving me any problems.

Also my wisdom teeth is growing in crooked and pushing all of my teeth and screwing up the alignment, and putting a lot of pressure on the teeth before it, so it needs to be removed.

Gabriel

Same story here. In fact the ortho-surgeon said he normally did it in house, but because I had some issues and he had concerns he did it in a hospital with a team of 5 people.

When I had mine removed, The nurse just stuck the needle in my arm and put me to sleep. The last thing I remember is the oral sergeon standing above me. I woke up in alot of pain though But really, it wasn't that that bad.

detoxed

The whole point of removing them is to get them removed BEFORE they give you problems.....

The Dawg

I had one taken out when I was 16. They just did it with a local (like 7 shots). That guy was going to town with that chizzle n hammer. Haha. It didnt hurt cuz of the shots, but the side of my face was swollen for about 5 days.

I dont think you need to go under for that... Reconsider that option.

Wilbo

Anybody remember that dentist they nailed for taking certain liberties on his female patients when they were under anesthesia? That may be another thing to consider

Odie

I got mine taken out all four at the same time, but it was done by a plastic surgeon. He administered it himself but he had 3 really hot nurses to help him out! while he was taking one out he started shaking me and I almost woke me up! I started to come to...and then they put me out again...as long as he has some help u should be fine...I was eating solid food the same day...

and I had to get mine cut out of my mouth, they were so mangled in there...

I had one pulled yesterday!
Was my first one and didn't really wanna go but it was no big deal after all.
I don't see why you want such a heavy ANAESTHESIA.
I just got three injections in my mouth and when it started working he pulled it out within 2 minutes.
Last night it hurted but right now it's not bad.

phogirl69

To be honest, when I called the office I guess they just assumed I wanted general anaesthesia, they never even offered or gave me an option of local. I think most people here get put to sleep to get their wisdom teeth pulled so I think that's the standard. Also perhaps because they want to make more money? General Anaesthesia costs a lot more than local.

cosis

I was suppose to get all four taken out tomorrow, however I changed my mind. First off he wants to charge $1200. Second off, only one of the wisdom teeth is impacted. At most I would only need to get 2 out.

Since it's not painful I am going to pass on the surgery. If it ever becomes painful I will get it pulled but I am not going to worry about it until it does...........

Honeyslut

I must have a strong pain tolerance. I was never put under.

Make sure that you get your jaw position and bite checked after they remove your wisdom teeth.Your bite may change.


My tmj disorder never showed up to after the removal of the wisdom teeth.

I'm so scared, I found this in Google

These are news articles about people who had their wisdom teeth removed and actually DIED under the procedure. It's supposed to be a minor surgery, it's not like brain surgery or anything, right? But people are still dying I'm scared though
The chance is small, but there is always a chance.

you dont need full anaesthesia and its not a 'grueling procedure'.

http://www.gofuckyourself.com/showth...ghlight=dental

I wouldnt consider it fun but a root or even drilling a simple cavity
is worse.

MaDalton

local is absolutely enough. i had just one wisdom tooth, but it was also deep in the jaw. they cut it in 4 parts and pulled them out - took about 5 minutes. just needed one pill for the night - no pain anymore the next day.

hi i had all my wisdom teeth out in a hospital with a complete operating room... they were severly impacted....but that was many years ago. now they don't use the same drugs..it's more of a cocktail of several different drugs that make you totally unaware of what's going on....a real high if you will.
my daughter had hers done this way and she was way better off than i was...you don't have to be as closely monitored this way either. but there should be a nurse present anyway, and there will likely be one there as an assistant.

don't worry, you'll be fine.

Where your teeth all "grown out" though? I need 2 removed, the bottom one is impacted, half of it is still stuck in the gum. The one on top is still IN the gum, but I can feel it starting to come out. So they'll have to use a knife or some type of scalpel and cut open my flesh! And sew me up with stiches afterwards... I've never had stitches before. I might be traumatized for my life if I have to endure all of that with local. It'll be like having your flesh cut open while still being conscious. Even though I might not feel anything, I still can see the sights, needles, blood, and hear the cracking and smashing noises...

I have to talk to my dentist first and see if local is an option... the problem is he doesn't do consultation, I just have to go in and get it all yanked out on the same day. That is making me more anxious because I don't know what's going to happen... or if they are going to stick a tube down my throat. It appears that's how people die ... when they don't breathe on their own...

phalfa

there won't be any tubes down your throat... and it sounds like your teeth will be way easier to remove than mine were.

or my daughters for that matter.

you won't even remember falling asleep,and it will all be over when you realize where you are. lol

my daugter was eating burgers the next day... i on the other hand couldn't eat solid food for 10 days..

so things are way better now than they used to be.

K, thanks. I hope mine will go well too. My appt is Friday, and I plan to eat soft foods for at least 2 weeks to prevent dry socket... I heard that's the worst.

Shoehorn!

I think there was a seperate person who gave me the drugs. Of course you can die from it, but they always give you a worse case scenario when do have something like that done.

I'm not a real drug connoiseur, but I have to say, the local anesthesia I got during wisdom tooth extraction was the best high I ever had. They strapped on some headphones with music, and I remember my teeth dancing around having a good ol' time. Highly recommended.

MistressLuna

They just numbed me up and I listened to pink floyd while they yanked at my face. It still hurt even with novacaine, but it wasnt all that bad til after.

I got my first wisdom tooth out about 3 years ago!! got 2 injections on either side of the tooth in my upper jaw and my lower jaw!! never felt a thing, the worst thing was hearing my tooth crack when he snapped it but that was it!!!

H eshould prick your mouth after he has numb you to test and make sure the injections are working!!


Fuck I can remember pulling out my milk teeth myself when I was younger!!!

The DDS who removed mine did the anesthesia himself. He was recommended to me by my dentist who I have seen for about 20 years now.

The precedure went off just fine, I don't think you have anything to worry about unless his name is Kevorkian.

Verbal

Jesus Christ! This thread couldn't have come at a better time ... mine started hurting like hell ... out of the blue on Friday. Hurt so bad, I almost got the plyers and pulled one out myself. Been living on Advils since. Got an appointment tomorrow and hopefully have them removed by the end of the week. the bottom two are impacted, so that should be fun ... good luck dear! I feel your pain

Thong Sniper

i havent had mine removed and theyve all grown in fine. i need a dentist though. just to make sure everything is fine all up in my grill.

The werent grown out: they were still stuck in the gum and vertical ;)

The second wisdom tooth i got removed 3 weeks back and my dentist admitted he realised halfway it was a challenge.


They just open up your gum and pull your tooth out. Its a 3 minute operation and i guarantee youll be amazed how fast and smooth things go and youll look back thinking "was this it?".

mryellow

With general there is always a risk you will never wake up.
Doctors do so many of these operations and consider the actual
work to be easy, so they say it's standard and routine. However
there is always a chance of dying under general. Lots of things
can go wrong, chemical interactions and allergies, incorrectly
placed tubes and needles, drunken doctors, etc. For smokers the
risks are much higher from what I've been told.

Still it's a very small risk. However as said above. There is no
good reason to put your body through this bashing if you can
stay conscious.

I had my first one pulled a few years ago when I was 18, that's when it started to come out...it was actaully impacted. It was done by an oral surgent NOt a dentist, Ny dentist actaully sent me to an oral surgent. He put a HUGE needle on my gums, he was very gentle, and I didn't fell any pain. Same thing with the other 2 wisdom teeth. The last one is still there b/c it is on a nerve and can't be removed.

When my husband ggot his done, it was also an orla surgent and he had all 4 pulled at once. He said it hurt just a bit, afterwards his mouth was swollen and he had to eat liquid food for a few days. The medication they give u will make the pain go away.
Good Luck!

Mr Thumbs,

Did you have stitches?? I was convinced that yours were grown out because I thought ones stuck in the gum would be a much more complicated procedure, but that's a good thing that it snapped out easily.

I did have a cavity filled like a week ago but it wasn't that bad, the shot actually didn't hurt at all, and I'm a big baby as you prolly can tell by now. The dentist was very good with administering the shot slowly and he gave me a special ointment first at the injection site so I wouldn't feel the injection.

But the dentist had a tiny bit of trouble because he said I have "tiny mouth". I think my mouth is much smaller than most people, I hope they don't have to use giant pliers or anything like that to yank em' out.

mrthumbs

Although it bleeds for 12 hours no stitches are usually required.

My dentist told me he only applies stitches when the patient
has extreme fear of blood or on medicine that makes the blood thin. But stitches slow down the healing process and it makes
the days after more painful (a swollon jaw caused by clogging blood).

You wont feel a thing of the actual extraction.. the only painful part is the injection! And you already had those so be the judge if you can handle that ;)

If no full anaesthesia is required make sure you get up real early that day (skip sleep that night perhaps?) or get some serious exercise before you hit the dentist.. that way when you get back home and the anaesthesia is losing its magic power you can sleep
for 10-12 hours and the healing process takes over!
Usually speeds up healing after any type of small surgery with 2 days.

The Sex Pusher

I wouldn't get knocked out if i were you , unless the dentist seems to think its essential..

I had mine out a few months back , after ignoring repeated messages from my dentist.

I'm man so i wont say i was scared , just aprehensive..

But all in all it was easy and painless , the needles they give you now work great.

One hour , everything was out , 1 stitch on the left side nothing on the other.. tender gums for a week then your a-ok

Don't stress over it. I did and it wasn't shit..

If you get knocked out, no big deal either. More people choke and die on spoons every year than die from getting the gas..

I think the way they do it now is, they give you an i.v. and a little gas to get you under, then they insert a tube down your throat while your passed out and pump small amounts of gas down into your lungs as your vitals rise.

I had my adnoids removed and thats what they did. I was freaked about that too. And again it was no big deal, just a little unnerving..
