How many are you having removed? I recently broke a tooth, had to have the roots/base removed and an implant placed. All they did was a local anesthetic and gas. Wasn’t bad. I don’t see the need for you to be put under if it’s just a tooth or 2
Well, I’ve managed to crack two moalers; no idea how I did it. But they’re both cracked in two and are very annoying. I’ll need to have bone graphs to prepare for implants.
The implants will be later.
Can’t take my Monjaro at all this week.
Haven’t been gassed since I was 6 or 7 for ear tubes and tonsil removal.
That was freaking miserable coming out of it.

I had all four wisdom teeth surgically extracted, was put under and came up during the procedure.

They put me under. I can remember the Assistant and I fighting the entire procedure. When I get bored, I cross my feet. I can remember her constantly taking my feet and uncrossing them. They didn’t want my legs going to sleep. Remember thinking “I must look like hell, getting sent out the back door.”

I had the sedation once when the dentist couldn't numb the tooth. What I had was versed, not general anesthesia like major surgery. It was weird because I wasn't completely out. It was a lot like a dream, but I could hear the dentist telling me things like for me to turn my head or something.
I didn't feel any pain or anything during it, but was very woozy for a while.

Had 6 teeth removed about 4 weeks ago under sedation. Worst part was a dental nurse doing an iv setup. they do not do that often enough

Mine give me the gas even for cleaning. And I make sure the bottles are full when I show up and demand the gas be as opened as law allowed.
Breathe deep and get high. Man I love it.

I just had this done last week. They used the same anesthesia that you’d receive if you were going in for a colonoscopy. I was out for about 45 minutes.

I’ve had a lot of dental work,all with just a local.
2 impacted wisdom teeth in the Navy,other 2 they just pulled.
2 bad molars pulled with implants later.
Last thing was a molar that broke off,oral surgeon insisted I had to have anesthesia or he wouldn’t do it.(cut out the roots)
To have an implant placed soon,he insists I have to have anesthesia.
I don’t want it,it’s an unnecessary charge,he’s milking it.My dentist let it slip that the oral surgeon recently bought an airplane.I suspect that’s why he’s insisting on the anesthesia,airplanes are expensive.
The oral surgeon that did my previous work died so I really have no choice.
Doctors these days are gouging patients.When my sister and I were kids,she had to have tubes put in her ears twice,I had it done once.ENT Dr. just did it in the office.
Now when kids have tubes put in their ears it’s done in day surgery with anesthesia,Something like $5,000.
Here’s the latest,hospitals are buying up all the Drs.practices.If you go for an appt.you not only pay the Dr. fee and any lab work or X-ray they’re adding a $250.00 facility fee on top.Insurance won’t pay it so pts.are having to pay it out of pocket. My understanding is Medicare will pay 80%(I could be wrong) so that’s an extra $50 on top of the co-pay.
Both hospitals in Ellick have started this shite,apparently all hospitals everywhere are doing it.
My Dr. ‘s office is not owned by a hospital (so far) so I’m not getting hit with that.As far as I know all the Cardiology practices in Ellick are owned by hospitals.
I don’t see a Cardiologist,if I ever have to I guess I’ll try and find one in a private practice Lafayette or Shreveport.

When I got a wisdom tooth pulled in Tulsa the former Army dentist used gas and had it turned up so high I didn’t feel a thing. It was an out of body experience where my consciousness was hovering around the ceiling just an inch or so below the light fixtures looking down on us in the room. The office was within a mile of the house so I cut through the subdivision to get home. Arrived home still high as a kite.
When I got the last wisdom tooth cut out a decade ago in Shreveport it was at Christus Highland hospital in a surgical suite and they did unconscious sedation of a propofol mixture through back of the hand IV.
I have also had dental procedures where they did an IV drip in the elbow of Versed which is conscious sedation. The drip starts and you quickly relax by melting into the chair and then you just don’t give a damn what is going on. Most people forget or blackout the memories of the whole time but I can still quote the conversation between the dentist and his assistant that took place during the procedure.
All 3 types of sedation have led to very restful naps after getting home with versed probably the most tiring and gas the least. While propofol puts you to sleep it’s not really sleep as you never enter REM or even dream. More like getting knocked out without being hit.

Last time I was given versed during surgery I was awake the whole time so I’m not looking forward to wisdom tooth removal.

Been under 3 times in the past year. Once for wisdom teeth and once for tonsillectomy.
Brought me back, started getting me all hooked up, you're gonna feel good after this....peace out. Wake up after some time travel, and head to the house for more naps.
The main benefit is if it's anything major, you skip a whole day of pain. The anesthesia will usually linger the full first day and help with pain.

I'd assume the anesthesia is the same for all medical procedures.

Depends on a facility/ length of procedure, you could get a CRNA and a LMA or you could get an anesthesiologist and a ET tube. Or a combo of either. Regardless, you’ll likely get Prop for induction.
So if you get an ET tube you gotta have an anesthesiologist? But a CRNA can do the LMA? How’s that work exactly?

It seems insurance doesn't often pay for sedation anymore because of liability. I'd check first.

How does this type of anesthesia compare to actually being cut on for appendex or gallbladder surgery?
The biggest difference is whether or not the patient is breathing "on their own" during the procedure, and that more or less correlates with the level/depth of sedation.
In general, "conscious sedation" means you continue to breath on your own, while "general anesthesia" means a machine is doing the work of breathing for you.
The same drugs can be used for both, the amounts/combos just differ.

Propofol, fentanyl and ketamine for the longer procedures, so I’ve heard
quote:
Halcion is prescribed for short-term use, typically for 7 to 10 days, to treat insomnia. It is also used as a sedative during medical procedures. The drug is not recommended for long-term use because it can lead to tolerance, dependence, and addiction
