Wisdom Teeth Removal Under IV Sedation

Best IV Dental Sedation Doctors For Wisdom Teeth Removal

The thought about getting your wisdom teeth removed might be thought to be extremely scary and daunting. Even though many people believe that this would be something that they would be able to prolong unless it does not bother them anymore, that would actually not be the case in reality. But the thing is, it would be better to get your wisdom teeth removed as early as it would be possible.

Hence, if you are scared of getting your wisdom tooth extracted, there would be an option in which you would not even remember the whole thing. If you are wondering what this would be, it would be sedation dentistry.

What is IV sedation dentistry?

Since sedation dentistry would be something which you would be hearing about for the first time in your life, you might want to know more about it. This is because anxiety or fear over dental treatment has been found to be quite common amongst most people. This would particularly be the case when they would be facing surgical procedures. It would be for this reason that sedation dentistry would use medication to relax normally uncomfortable patients. This would then help to manage the discomfort of these patients that they would experience during the dental treatment. In many cases, sedation would keep the patient conscious, but they might feel so comfortable and calm that they would fall asleep on their own. In the case of deeper levels of anesthesia, the patient may not remember anything from the procedure once it has finished.  The great thing about this procedure is that most insurances cover sedation dentistry.

Removal of wisdom teeth

A tooth which would be fairly visible in the mouth could be considered to be quite easy. It could be considered to be a fairly simple procedure. It would involve numbing with a local anesthetic and after a bit of work would be done around the gum, the tooth would be extracted. However, this would not be the case with the extraction of wisdom teeth when they come in early. Since this would be located at the back of your mouth, most of the wisdom tooth would not have enough room to come in properly and hence they would be referred to as being impacted. In this case, it would usually require the removal of some gum tissue and bone, thus making the procedure more involved than removing teeth that would be positioned normally. In most of the cases, four of the wisdom teeth would be removed at once. It would also be because of this reason that most of the sedation dentists would recommend that sedation be given during the procedure.

Anesthetics and sedatives

Therefore, before deciding on which kind of anesthesia you would choose for your wisdom tooth extraction, this is something which you would need to talk over with your dentist. However, some of the most common options would include:

  • Local anesthesia would be the numbing medication which would be injected in to the area of the mouth to be treated.
  • IV sedation would be administered by taking medication through a vein or orally. Since this tends to work fairly quickly and even though you would be capable and conscious of responding to your dentist, you would barely remember anything about the procedure.
