Can you be put to sleep when you get your teeth pulled?
yes you can.. you just have to request it..i had to have 3 pulled out when i was 17 for my braces and i hate pain too and my dentist just gave me a pill to take an hour before he extracted them and you honestly really dont remember anything..so yeah you can as long as you request it and talk to your dentist about it
Reply:I work in the operating room and lots of people have their wisdom teeth out under General Anaesthetic (put to sleep).


However, your dentist can probably numb the areas where your teeth are coming out of and you wont feel anything. You might get some happy gas (nitrous oxide) which makes you feel a bit sleepy and relaxed while they do it.





There is no way a dentist would pull teeth while you have feeling. They can deadened the whole area so you dont feel anything
Reply:yes. go to an oral surgeon
Reply:No. Quit being such a pus$y. It doesn't even hurt that much.
Reply:Yes, you can be put to sleep during a dental procedure and normally if you have six teeth pulled they will give you something - either major pain killing medicines (novocaine, etc.) or a sedative (they do conscious sedation which makes you think you are asleep but they don't have to intubate you with a trach tube and oxygen). If your wisdom teeth are impacted (below the gum) they normally will put you to sleep (conscious sedation) and the last thing you will remember is feeling sleepy and then waking up in a different room with some cotton packing material in your mouth when it is over.
Reply:yes thats the best way
Reply:Yu can have general anaesthetic (but not all dentists do this and you generallh have to go to hospital) or have Intravenous sedation prior to numbing of the gums which means you are sort of asleep but aware of what is going on but couldn't care less, and then later forget all about what happened. If you are concerned about going to the dentist, go to www.dentalfearcentral.com It's a wonderful site where you get lots of support from people with dental phobia and can ask any question and get a response from a dentist as well as other people with the same worries as you.
Reply:I don't know about you but that is the only way they are going to get close to my mouth with a needle.


Yes just have to find a dentist that uses nitrious Oxide (laughing gas)


The procedure for that is he or she uses the gas to, as they say relax you, then they will give you a shot of novocain to completely deaden the area before pulling your teeth.





Good luck and get plenty of ice cream stocked up to eat afterwards.
Reply:You can go to sleep if you see an ORAL AND MAXILLOFACIAL SURGEON. General dentists or periodontists do not have the ability under the law.


Go to this website and find an OMS in your area
Reply:Yes you can be but to sleep . But this is a very costly job . But even if you get to be but to sleep when you weak up you will still have so much pain in your month . So just keep you eyes closed and bring a mp3 player and you will not be a scared or feel anything !!! best of luck
Reply:the oral surgeon can put an iv in your arm and numb those spots and you wont know whats going on or remember anything. plus he or she will prescribe you some goooood stuff so you will be comfortable over the next few days afterwards.


general anesthesia will totally knock you out but it costs a few hundred $$ and isnt necessary most of the time cuz its not that big a deal
