Are they going to use general anesthesia or just a local anesthetic for a wisdom tooth extraction?

Unknown: Each procedure and each office is different. You should discuss your treatment with the surgeon who will be extracting your teeth.

The Comfort Zone: If you are one of the many people apprehensive about oral surgery, you can request sleep dentistry, IV sedation or GA for your comfort. You could just sleep through your wisdom teeth surgery. Sleep dentistry allows appropriately trained dentists to create a safe and comfortable dental experience.
