It depends on the person and the type teeth that are being removed. The more difficult the tooth extraction then, proportionally, the greater the probability of post-operative pain. Psychologically, it does feel just like much pushing and shoving during the procedure, but if it does hurt, tell the surgeon, as some inflamed and infected teeth take a little more to anaesthetise.\nAs for the person, different people have different reactions. I had my two lower impacted teeth removed under local. They needed to be sectioed, or cut, to be removed, but it didn't hurt. I was up and studying within two hours - pretty stupid really, as I should have milked the sympathy!\nTwo tips may be of benefit, though:\n(1) Take pain relief about 30 mins after procedure, while you are still numb - it makes the transition out of anaesthesia much smoother, and aids healing, as the less pain you're in the quicker you will heal\n(2) Try to relax best you can before, during and after the procedure - the more relaxed you are, the better anaesthesia works, and the better that works, the better the procedure for you, during and after the procedure.\nRemember, not all wisdom teeth are horror stories! Good luck!

It depends on what kind of anesthesia you had at the beginning.  It sounds like you had local anesthesia and sedation for a minor procedure.  Local anesthesia is adminstered by the surgeon or doctor performing the procedure.  It's good with certain superficial procedures like stitches and skin lesions, but anything deeper is hard to get numbed completely (ex: pap smear).  That's where the sedation comes in.  The anesthesiologist can give you pain meds and anxiolytic drugs.  They are limited in how much pain medicine they can give you because the side effects are that you get really nauseous and you stop breathing (whereas in general anesthesia you are on a ventilator so it's ok if you don't breath by yourself).  The anxiolytic drug usually is Versed and it's like Valium only faster acting and it usually makes people forget everything for a few hours, and sometimes even makes you forget a few things that happened before you got the injection.  However, it doesn't put you to sleep, it doesn't paralyze you and it doesn't really take away pain, so you were probably awake (but sedated) and feeling enough pain that they decided not to continue.  Once they stopped the procedure you probably didn't have any pain anymore.  \n\nOf note, anesthesia comprises 4 separate aspects, but you don't always need all 4.  For example, for a pap smear in someone who has a lot of pain with the exam, you need pain relief and maybe some amnesia:\npain relief (usually treated with narcotics like fentanyl)\namnesia/hypnosis (from light sedation to unarousable)\nparalysis (for delicate surgeries and abdominal surgeries)\nprevention of harmful reflexes (usually sympathetic nervous system)\n\nLastly, the first answer is too simple, the second answer is pretty good, and the third person is a quack (there is a lot of misinformation around, and the only reliable source is your actual anesthesiologist).

SEVEN mm??? whoa.   You might need surgery for that...gosh....\n\nYou shouldn't need sedation for braces but if things are REALLY bad, you can ask your doc - possibly can write you a script for a relaxant such as valium.\nI'd give you a funny look, but might do it dep on situation... \n\ngood luck

Go talk to a doctor, they will give you a quote once they see what your procedure will consist of.

I had a mole   ( rodent ulcer),   removed last year,\n it was on the side of my neck \n I was very worried about how it was going to feel as well \n The only thing i felt was a tiny scratch from the local anaesthetic needle .\n the rest was a breeze ,\nchatting to the Nurse and the Surgeon \nand before i knew it it was done  , small dressing 2 stitches .\n\n 10 mins max , and NO after pain . \n And virtualy no scar.\n i am sure your procedure,  will go as well  too \n\n\nGood luck \n\n>^,,^<

I don't know what kind of sedation you mean - there are several kinds.\n\nMild:  Nitrous oxide sedation - this jsut relaxes you but you're conscious\n\nMild to Moderate:  Oral Sedation - this involves taking pills to sedate you prior to the procedure.\n\nModerate:  IV Sedation - this is an IV in your arm and you could be conscious, unconscious, or somewhere in between!\n\nStrong:  General Anesthesia - this is where they have to make sure you have an airway and you are all the way out.\n\nNow, with the IV and General, the same drugs that "knock you out" can depress your central nervous system, blood pressue, heart rate, etc etc.   Obviously, if these systems are depressed too far, the patient will die.   Fortunately for you, your oral surgeon has at least four years of training beyond MY four years of dental school that teaches him all the tricks of advanced life support.  So don't worry!\n\nHowever, MY biggest concern is this:  You're going in TOMORROW and you have no idea what the risks are or if your'e even going to GET sedation???  This is inconceivable to me!   Before they schedule the extraction appointment, they probably did a consult.  The surgeon looks at your xray and decides the degree of difficulty involved and (should) explain the risks of the procedures as well as your options in  terms of anesthetic and sedation, including all risks of these procedures.  I've NEVER heard of anyone saying, "Oh, just decide the day of and we'll explain the risks then."\n\nThe fact that you're even asking the question has me a little concerned, unless they already went over all that and maybe you just weren't paying attention or you didn't read the consent form they should provide OR maybe just lost the paper...??\n\nAnyway, good luck.  Sedation is better and easier than not, esp if your'e well insured!

Congrats!!! Hope you did that under doctor supervision. It can be very dangerous to try to with-drawl from any tranquilizer on your own.

Most dentist are only licenses and train to do local anesthesia (the shot) rather then general (putting you to sleep).  However at my office I have found that pre mediation (with Triazolam) are patient who are very nervous and giving them nitrous is very helpful.  Half the time they fall asleep.  Ask your dentist about it.

You can use it but if you experience any pain whatsoever, I would discontinue doing so

You need to cancel your appointment... That is way too much for your mouth.. You are not properly healed from your oral surgery. Give it 6 weeks before anymore trauma in your mouth. Plus your heart does not need anymore numbing pain medication going thru your system this soon....

you could but be careful.\nit would be better to see a professional and let them know your condition before they start and they should know a safe pressure to use.
