A member asked:
Do oral surgeons normally put people under general anaesthesia when they do extractions?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Most Dentists or: Oral surgeons will do extractions under straight local anesthetic (la). Rarely is any other kind of sedation needed. I can tell you that after having three root canals the la was quite sufficient. I later used some Motrin when the block wore off. Hope that this helps.
