Well I am not a doctor or dentist but I had four wisdom teeth removed 5 days ago by an oral surgeon and I was "put to sleep" The process took less than an hour and I was fine. With any anesthesia there can be risk involved. Go to your oral surgeon for a consultation and they can review those with you.

I had one impacted wisdom tooth removed, and was not put to sleep. However, I felt no discomfort during and was unaware that it had already been done.

However, recently I had the other 3 removed at the same time and was put to sleep, as they were all infected and all 3 shattered in my gums during surgery. Any questions feel free to email me at cheryloogly@aol.com

No - answering as a patient here. If your awake the Dentist has to be careful about what they do (which is still rough - wisdom teeth are firmly attached to the rest of you). If your out, they can work hard and fast to finish the job.

Good Luck!

When you're tired.

Follow the directions of your dentist. Most recommend keeping your head elevated while sleeping. Use multiple pillows, or sleep in a recliner.

How in the world can you cure numbness after getting wisdom teeth pulled out?

I find the fastest way is just to sleep it off.


What is the average cost of having 3 wisdom teeth pulled if you have to be put to sleep to have it don?

im not sure about having you put to sleep but each tooth can be about 1900 for extrction. i had insurance coverage for my 4 extractions but I still had to pay 20% of the whole total which was about 381 per tooth, almost 1600 for all 4. good luck on your removal- it's not a pleasant one!


I have to get my tooth pulled out but not my wisdom teeth it's a perminent tooth stuck in my gum would they put me to sleep?

It is not necessary to be asleep even for your wisdom teeth extractions, but if you're asking if they will because you WANT to be asleep then you simply have to ask your dentist. You should be able to find a dentist around you that is offering sleep dentistry, though it really is unnecessary and will be much more costly. It probably would not take more than 5 minutes if it isn't a molar.

Does having your wisdom teeth pulled out hurt?

Yes it does hurt afterwards because most of the time they are impacted and they have to cut them out. But iv sedation is the best way to go and if you find a good oral surgeon they will hook you up with pain killers for afterwards Well most times you're put to sleep.. so you feel nothing until you wake up and then of course it will hurt while it heals
