Answer 1

they put me to sleep, but they monitor your heart, breathing, etc. dont worry about it. you will be fine. just make sure you take your pain killers after you get them out.

Answer 2

No. You don't neccessarily need to be put to sleep. They can also numb your body so you don't feel pain but that can be annoying to many people. So it may be your choice but if not, don't worry.

You will do fine. :)

Answer 3

The dentist can use Novocaine just like when pulling any other tooth unless it's impacted or something.  Being scared about being put under is a pretty normal feeling.  Tell the dentist how you feel cause he can give you something to help you relax.

Answer 4

You do not have to be put to sleep. I had all 4 taken out last week and I had the gas and I took Halcion. I was still awake and talking to the dentists but I didnt care what they were doing. I had to have someone drive me home and I slept the rest of the day. I was worried about being totally out also but I have bad anxiety so I needed something to calm me down. You might look into the Halcion. Its an Rx.  

Answer 5

i got all 4 out and i only got numbed w novocaine. i asked the d.a. and she said its not that safe to put ppl to sleep cuz some ppl r allergic to the anesthicia and well its more dangrous. just make sure u r numbed well

Answer 6

I refused to get put to sleep at the dentist.  It's wimpy and unnecessary.  I simply used novocaine, they numb the top and bottom of your mouth, and they just pulled them for me.  It was definitely not a huge deal and I was aware the whole time, I just couldnt feel my mouth lol.  It's fine just tell them you want novocaine...it's so much CHEAPER too!
