Discuss with dentist: Usually not, unless you've had a heart attack within the past 6 months, you shouldn't have any elective dental treatment. Discuss your heart condition with the dentist and appropriate treatment can be performed with minimal risk to you.

Specializes in Pain Management

Relatively Painless: Fortunately, modern anesthetics allow oral surgery, especially wisdom teeth removal and restorative dentistry to be done virtually pain-free and worry free. With the profound local anesthesia and IV sedation you will have no recall of the events of the oral surgery or experience any pain.
