Tooth extraction: Local anesthesia is usually sufficient. For more anxious persons, conscious sedation is available using nitrous oxide inhalation or IV sedatives (under medical supervision).

Local anesthesia : Your dentist or surgeon will discuss sedation options available for you, which may include oral, nitrous, intravenous, or a general anesthetic. You will still receive local anesthesia (injections in the mouth) with each of the sedation techniques.

IV sedation: Typically, all the wisdom teeth are removed at the same time, using IV sedation. An IV is placed and then medication is injected into the line. This allows the surgeon to titrate (control the amount and effect of) the medications much more accurately and safely, than if they were taken orally.

Varies: Local anesthesia (e.g. Lidocaine) is used for all extractions. Some surgeons will use IV medications such as valium, versed, propofol, etc. To induce a sedative state. Some may or may not also use nitrous oxide. Once you consult a dentist or oral surgeon, they will discuss the appropriate anesthesia for use in your particular case.

Talk to Dentist: Most teeth extractions can be done under local anesthesia with a cooperative patient. If there are especially impacted teeth then some sedation might be indicated. It is rare that a full general anesthetic would be needed for dental extraction. If you have concerns please contact your dentist and discuss these fears with him. Good luck.
