Talk to your dentist: If the teeth are to be removed, many oral surgeons use sedation. If the teeth are to be saved, then talk to your dentist regarding your concerns and how they can best address them. Many general dentists perform sedation dentistry or can have a specialist come into the office to sedate you, while they perform the necessary dental treatment. Btw: you're very young for this extensive dentistry.

Pain alternatives: General anesthesia may be an option with an oral surgeon but i would suggest that you try speaking with your health care provider to explore other options such as oral or IV sedation.

Talk to dentist: Though some cases like yours can be done under local anesthesia, it sounds as though you are going to need more.

Yes: There are many dental offices that may offer general anesthesia for your treatment. Your first step is to see a dentist to determine what your options are. Your treatment and anesthetic options can be discussed with you. If your dentist is not qualified to offer sedation or general anesthesia, he or she can refer you to someone who can provide treatment for you comfortably and safely.
