A few thoughts...: Many thousands of patients have gone through the procedure before you, all without consequence. The surgeons are well trained in this technique. The "sleep" you will be in is minimal... You will still be breathing on your own; it's not like going to the or. You'll wake up, the teeth will be out, and you won't remember a thing... Relax!

The Comfort Zone: With the profound local anesthesia and IV sedation you will have no recall of the events of the dental treatment/oral surgery or experience any pain. In your case IV sedation is recommended. Take care.
