Do dental schools put you to sleep when they remove wisdom teeth?

I am having my wisdom teeth removed at a university dental school. It is closed right now so i can't call to ask questions. Will they give me shots of pain killers, or put me under? Do you know if they charge for this? The reason I'm asking is because I'm going there to save on cost, but I would love it if I could sleep through the procedure. What do you all think?





Thanks!!!

Because it is a "teaching" facility,they will more than likely use a local anesthetic in order to save money and because they are probably not prepared or set up with an OR table for which to put you on if you were asleep.


There are many things that have to be monitored while you are asleep and I don't think they have that in a "teaching" facility.


I have had root canals,fillings,wisdom teeth pulled and eventually all of my teeth pulled and every bit of it was done under local anesthesia. . . shots in the mouth in the proper places to numb mouth nerves.


Actually locals are really better because the local wears off slowly and the pain you will experience will come on gradually but under a general anesthesia,when you wake up the pain will be there immediately.


It's really nothing to be feared about,it's like a day in the park. . . . .GOOD LUCK

Reply:I went to a dentist and when they pulled my wisdom teeth they did charge extra to put me "to sleep" When i had to have another tooth pulled i was awake for it and it did not hurt as much. If you do not like the idea of being awake and they charge the extra and you can afford it, than i would rather be put to sleep.
Reply:well they will. but you will have to have someone to drive you and to pick you up.





They will insert a needle and you mustn't have any food or soda. You must have water to take the pill before going to the dental school.





Remember that you're going to have to gargle with salt water and you won't be allowed to drink out of a straw.





You must have soft food for awhile until the discomfort goes away.





It wasn't bad when I had it done. My grandpa was an oral surgeon. He removed my wisdom teeth.
Reply:depends on the school and the specifics of your procedure - I was not put under @ the school I went to - it was an easy pull...
