Sedation and Wisdom Teeth

When you are ready to get your wisdom teeth out you can have a few options on how the operation is done. Your Dentist Spanish Fork wants you to have a very stress free and comfortable procedure. For wisdom teeth removal we do offer IV sedation to provide a stress free environment for tooth extraction. IV sedation is not the only option though. If you choose to, you can be awake during the tooth removal.

If you are anxious and nervous about your wisdom teeth removal, having IV sedation may be a great choice for you. For IV sedation you will receive the sedative drug through one of your veins using an IV. Doing it this way will have the drug start working more quickly. You will not feel any pain and be completely comfortable during the whole procedure. After it is all over you will have limited memory of the tooth extraction. IV sedation will help with anxiety and ensure that the procedure runs smoothly. If you do choose to opt for IV sedation you will need a family member or friend to drive you home after the procedure.

You can also choose to be awake during your wisdom teeth removal. Even though you are awake you will be completely numb and you will not feel any pain. You are ensured comfort during the procedure. As part of getting your wisdom teeth removed you will receive local anesthesia to help numb your gums. During the procedure your tooth, jaw bone, and surrounding gums will be numbed to ensure a painless tooth removal.

Any option we provide for wisdom teeth removal is a comfortable and painless option. How you feel about the procedure can help you choose how it is done. Before you get your wisdom teeth taken out we will help you understand all of your sedation options. If you have any questions about wisdom teeth removal please give us a call today.
