Local anesthesia or general anesthesia for wisdom teeth remove?
That depends on whether it's done in the hospital or in the doctor's office.

Wisdom teeth extraction can, but does not always, require sedation. In some cases, local anesthetic in the gums can be used instead of general anesthesia. Full sedation is typically only required if one's wisdom teeth become impacted and need to be surgically removed.

You are 14 and your wisdom teeth are coming through and you wanted to know whether the denist will send you to the hospital for a general anaesthetic because you are totally scared of needles?
Most general dentists do not provide general anesthesia or sedation. You would want to see an oral surgeon for this. It is not unreasonable to want to be put to sleep for wisdom tooth removal, particularly if all four are removed at once. However, understand that anesthesia increases the risk of complications significantly. And it is much more expensive. Having said that, millions of wisdom teeth are removed every year, both with general anesthesia and without, and the vast majority are without problems. General anesthesia can make it a far less emotionally traumatic and far more pleasant. If you are totally freaked out about getting your wisdom teeth out, see an oral surgeon and discuss your options.
Can they take wisdom teeth out using just local anesthesia?

What happens when you receive general anesthetic during wisdom teeth removal while pregnant?

If wisdom teeth cause your teeth to get crooked Do your teeth get straight after you get your wisdom teeth extractions?
Not necessarily. Teeth tend to become more crowed as we age, especially the lower front teeth. This happens in some people regardless of whether they have wisdom teeth or not. Therefore, removing the wisdom teeth, solely for the purpose of hoping to get naturally straighter teeth, won't work.
