Wisdom Tooth Surgery Pain

The first concern one is likely to have with wisdom tooth surgery is how painful it would be. You can put your fears to rest. Your dentist can use any one of the three types of anesthesia to numb the area and ensure that you are inflicted with minimal pain.

In simple cases, local anesthesia is administered at the side of wisdom teeth extraction after numbing the area via a numbing gel. You will remain awake during the whole procedure. On the other hand, in some cases, sedation anesthesia or general anesthesia can be administered wherein you will remain asleep during the procedure and will thus not feel any pain.

Wisdom Tooth Surgery Prep

The procedure will be performed by the dentist in his office. In order to prepare yourself for the procedure, you might want to ask some questions to your dentist.

What are the risks involved, and what type of care would have to be taken after the procedure? This would ensure that you are mentally prepared for the procedure. Make sure that you put forth all the queries that you have in mind.
