The oral surgeon has been specifically trained not only to extract your wisdom teeth, but to also administer the appropriate sedation for your procedure. Is it that you feel at 275 lbs the sedation won't take effect? No worries, you'll be sound asleep.

Being apprehensive about a surgical procedure is perfectly normal. Trust in your practitioner's tens of thousands of hours of specialty training and his/her lifetime of experience. And by all means bring your concerns to your doctor before proceeding.
