Please tell me how long it takes for to recover from general anesthesia after a wisdom tooth extraction?

Anesthesia Recovery: This is entirely based on the kind and dosage of anesthesia used. Only the dentist that is doing the surgery can answer this question for you. However, normal and usual is anywhere from 30 minutes to a couple of hours.

Not long: Depends on what they use. You should be able to work the next day.

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. I don't even remember the procedure after a little dose of valium. If you have concerns please contact your dentist and discuss these fears with him. Good luck. A general anesthetic will clear very quickly (within hours).

Depends: Depends on your body mass, the type of anesthesia used, the length of the procedure, and how your body metabolizes the anesthetic agent. Usually mostly worn off in 30 minutes to 2-3 hours, but may have some residual effects for 24hrs or longer. No 2 people are alike, so get your support system in order, and follow your oral surgeons post-surgical instructions to the letter.
