What are some pros and cons of being sedated versus just having nitrus oxide for wisdom teeth removal?

Individual basis: Sedation allows for a much faster and more comfortable procedure, especially if the surgeon runs into a challenge. Nitrous oxide and local means you won't need a ride, be groggy all day, and can save you a few bucks. If surgery and shots are no big deal, then nitrous may be ok. Sometimes the surgeon needs you to be sedated though.

Aware, respiration: Sedation can be oral or I.V. If done by i.V, pros: no awareness during procedure, cons: unlikely but possible anesthesia problems. Oral sedation, not usually done by properly trained maxillo-facial surgeons. N.O. And local are just fine if not anxious about the procedure. These extractions most commonly should be done by mf surgeons who do a real time ekg & use pulse oximetry (monitor breathing).

Pros n cons: If your teeth are impacted, it is recommended to be sedated so you have a quick and smooth removal of the wisdom teeth. What you can avoid by doing this is hearing the sounds and feeling the pressure of the wisdom teeth being removed in several pieces. A faster procedure means faster recovery. Well worth the extra money to be sedated if they are impacted. I had mine out this way too!
