Scared for general anesthetic when getting teeth pulled out. help?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
No need to be scared: The oral surgeon(s) who will be treating you have years of training, experience, and are specially certified for this type of procedure. You'll actually be asleep, deep enough to not wake up, but not so deep that you cannot breathe on your own. Additional medications will calm you and provide an amnesic effect.
