Can you get your wisdom teeth removed under local anesthesia?

Yes: Local injections are often used.

Yes: Discuss the anesthesia plan with your dentist.

Yes it is: Yes it is very possible. However, all wisdom teeth are not created equally. Some are deep in the bone, tilted and horizontally positioned. If the wisdom teeth are impacted, most patients consider sedation for comfort. Consult with your dentist on an oral surgeon on your options.

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.
