I haven\u2019t seen a dentist recently, but I know it\u2019s my wisdom teeth that are hurting and the pain is getting worse. Before I go in I want to know if sedation is necessary or just something the dentist will try to convince me to get. I don\u2019t like people doing anything to me medically or otherwise without me being fully aware of what\u2019s going on. I am not afraid of the procedure. I just want to be full aware and awake. Can you tell me if sedation is standard for wisdom teeth removal or can I go without it? Thanks Brooklynn<\/p>\n<p>Brooklynn \u2013 It\u2019s good that you recognize that dental care is needed for your wisdom teeth. Whether or not you need <a href=\"https:\/\/mirandalacydds.com\/sedation-dentist-plano.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">sedation dentistry<\/a> depends on the condition of the teeth and their roots. Wisdom teeth are especially painful when they are impacted.<\/p>\n<p>Impacted wisdom teeth can lead to a variety of oral health issues, including those listed below:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Damage neighboring teeth<\/li>\n<li>Become infected, and in some cases form a cyst that affects nerves, other teeth, your jaw, and facial muscles<\/li>\n<li>Become difficult to clean and promote bacteria and gum disease<\/li>\n<li>Bacteria can enter your bloodstream and affect your organs, including your heart and kidneys<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>You will receive an anesthesia evaluation. Local anesthesia will definitely be administered. Your dentist or oral surgeon is concerned about your comfort during wisdom teeth removal. If the removal of the teeth is anticipated to be complex or time consuming, sedation dentistry might be recommended.<\/p>\n<p>There are various levels of sedation:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Nitrous oxide<\/li>\n<li>Oral conscious sedation<\/li>\n<li>IV sedation dentistry<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Before you decline sedation, ensure you understand what to expect during the procedure. Ask the dentist about what you will be able to hear, see, and feel more intensely than you would without sedation. It\u2019s your right as a patient to accept or decline care, but sedation dentistry can make the removal of impacted wisdom teeth a much more pleasant experience.<\/p>\n<p>This post is sponsored by <a href=\"https:\/\/mirandalacydds.com\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Plano dentist<\/a> Dr. Miranda Lacy.
