When having wisdom teeth surgery..?

Question

I have to get laughing gas and an IV sedation . . How are those going to feel?

Also, I heard when the surgery is over, you wake up in the recovery room. . . How do they get you to a recovery room??

Answer 1

I don't know why they would need to give you laughing gas if they are giving you sedation, but I was given IV sedation and don't remember anything.  Once they put it in the IV, I was out and yes I woke up in the recovery room and I have no idea how I got there.  But I was so out of it at that point that I never thought to ask.

Answer 2

with iv sedation you aren't completely asleep and the gas is mostly clean oxygen.  i just had something done and i had to get those too.  when they put the iv in it might pinch a little like a shot but then its fine and the sedation med. might make your arm hurt just a little when it goes into your system but then everything is fine and nothing hurts.  

Answer 3

My surgeon said he was giving me laughing gas but it felt like regular oxygen. It did nothing for me. And the IV is just like getting a tiny shot. Just a needle through the arm and the sedation starts. You won't feel anything besides the intial injection of the needle. You will literally fall asleep in less than a minute.

For me, I woke up in the same chair that I had my surgery. For some people, they are moved to a different room, but I'm not sure how.
