Some do: Call the dental school near you and ask if they have the ability to do total sedation. Some do, but not all do.

Possibly: Each institution is different, so you need to call the one that will be treating you to see if they will use this type of anesthesia.

Depends: It really depends on the school. Most schools will remove wisdom teeth in an oral surgery clinic. These clinics often are equiped for general anesthesia. Call the school before you decide to find out if it's an option for you.

Wisdom tooth: If the dental school has a graduate program in Oral Surgery, I dont see a reason why they couldn't, as that is part of their training...
