It really does depend on the dentist and the seriousness of the procedure. Some dentists ask what you prefer. I would just reccommend asking to be put to sleep for the surgery.
Reply:It is a choice, but most people prefer to be put to sleep.
Reply:Mine did. I had to request it though.
Reply:you will be asleep. They use gas so you won't feel pain. It might hurt afterwards but you won't remember the surgery
Reply:i doubt any doctors would conduct a surgery on a conscious person. unless, like, they want to see you die from a heart attack.
Reply:When I had my wisdom teeth surgically removed I asked NOT to be put to sleep. I get sick from anesthesia. So they just gave me laughing gas %26amp; I was in La-La Land. Didn't feel a thing %26amp; recovery was a breeze. I would do it the same way if I had to again. Hope all goes well for you!
Reply:Yes the dentist will put you to sleep. My two year old son had surgery last Saturday. His tooth/cavity was absessed and


it had to be taken out. I was able to stay in the room with him


until he feel asleep, and came in immediatly after. The


surgery was less than thirty minutes.
Reply:I had 2 "wisdom" teeth pulled at your age. The novacain numbs you completely (and doesn't hurt). I was awake while Jonny Cash sang "Boy Named Sue", over the speakers. All 3 of us had to laugh when he sang the part, "...and he bit off a piece of my ear...and we rolled around in the blood and the guts and the beer", just as the dentist layed a little piece of (my) meat on my bib. The timing was SO funny! William, what doesn't kill you makes you stronger. I went to school the next day with a GREAT story!
