Full body anesthesia or just local?

I'm having an oral surgery tomorrow but my dentist want to put a full body anesthesia! i'm worried.


i think i should just get a local anesthesia, what should i do?


Should i try to convince my dentist to not apply the full body anesthesia?

Full body anesthesia or just local?
if its a very Major surgery, you need a GA but for removal of impacted wisdom tooth, just LA should do.
Reply:Well, there has to be a reason behind the dentist's preference for general (full body) v. local. Talk to the dentist about it. There may be options, but also consider the risks.
Reply:When I had my wisdom teeth removed, they did a full anesthesia. The orthodontist had to break one of them into three pieces to get it out.





Would not have wanted to do that under a local...that's for sure.





I just went to sleep and woke up when it was over.
Reply:you do not want to remember the noises that are going to be made during your surgery...trust me I was a dental assistant and know what I am talking about...it is general all the way. Good luck!
Reply:As an anesthesiologist, if your oral surgeon/dentist needs a general anesthetic for the procedure then it is because they feel they cannot adequately localize the area and/or the amount of time/energy they would have to use to localize the work and sedate you is too great of a stress and that it will be easier and faster to complete the procedure under general anesthesia. Make sure that a CRNA or Anesthesiologist/Dental Anesthesia Provider is in charge of your anesthetic and not the dentist. If the dentist wants to do the general themselves and perform the dental work, I would be concerned.
