i just had my wisdom teeth pulled a few weeks ago and they put me to sleep for it. They put a breathing tube in my mouth and gave me an injection of anesthesia. They told me to relax so i was expecting to get sleepy or something i didnt even feel that i don't remember even falling asleep. Before i know it i was awake again which to me seemed like a few seconds ago but actually was 30 mins ago. i was groggy as crap and i could barely walk straight from the anesthesia the rest... was unclear and foggy. i don't even remember the car ride home. I barely could get up the stairs and just plopped on my bed. I was drained

no they don't they just numb it

(alternate answer)

No, a dentist does not put you to sleep to fill a cavity, but a dentist will inject your mouth with Novocaine so that you won't feel pain when the tooth is drilled.

Anesthesia is a serious medical procedure, which is not undertaken lightly. Sometimes dental work is done under anesthesia, if the dental work is very extensive, but that would not be done for a mere cavity.
