Adrianna's Root Canal and Wisdom Teeth IV Sedation Extravaganza

[@emmastoner1266]

I watched all of these videos before getting my wisdom teeth out because I was so nervous about the IV sedation. I got them out a week ago, and let me tell you, it was SO easy. The sedation is great and really relaxes you without making you feel weird or out of control, it just feels like going to sleep without even knowing you feel asleep. I sleep through the whole thing and felt zero pain. Recovery has been great, follow the instructions and eat some soup for a few days and you should be good. I promise you'll be fine :)

[@naomilopez7863]

How long did it take to take all of them out?

Thank you for the heads up I get Mimes taking out dec 13 and I’m kinda scared because I don’t want to act weird or nun

This is great to know I have to get 3 extractions done and this is the route I’m taking

[@kimberlyf.4130]

EASIEST PROCEDURE YOULL EVER HAVE. I had my wisdom teeth taken out today, two of them were impacted. I was on the verge of a panic attack I was so scared. I was given laughing gas then sedation. They put the IV in (which I barely felt due to laughing gas) and not even five minutes later I was out cold. The nurse woke me up and I swear I felt like I had closed my eyes for five minutes, even though the surgery was almost an hour. No pain at all, I was completely asleep I didn't hear or feel a thing. Not a thing, just a small prick if the IV. Guys it's not gonna hurt at all, I promise your gonna be great. I feel silly for freaking out, this was the easiest thing I've ever had done. I will tell you your gonna be sore after that numbness wears off, but take your pain pills round the clock every 4-6 hours and you'll never feel more that a sorness, no pain at all, an inconvenient sort of discomfort but that medication will keep you mellow and sleepy. Chin up, your gonna be more than good I promise ❤❤❤

[@slayderrtuts6633]

Do you ask for that? Or do they just normally put the laughing gas first then the IV? Because I’m afraid of the IV

Im still kinda young, i dont need my wisdom teeth taken out yet, but however i do need to have a few twwth taken out from the front lower jaw and have to have braces on my top teeth, ill look so weird abd im scared that the braces might hurt, but im less nervous about the teeth removal!

I've got some major tooth extraction coming up. I need dentures. I have been very afraid for several weeks now, waiting. I've had several episodes of pain this past year (kidney stones, torn muscles in my ribs, and a prior tooth extraction, on top of a lung infection), and I don't want any more pain. So, I'm very afraid right now. There are tears in my eyes as I type this. I hope this video is a real representation of what I will experience. I'm glad this young lady's experience was good. God bless her.

[@bhamptonkc7]

ok after watching a boatload of videos I would call this one the best, many dentists wont show the procedure or they really show it, this was a great balance to allow a future patient get a feel for what will happen through the whole process. I have an extraction and bone graft in a bit over a week, I like to say I am well educated on the process but still kind of nervous/excited.

[@catchmeinthecarpoollane9417]

Hey! In a week im getting one of my wisdom teeth taken out and grafting some jaw bone to my upper incisor area. I'm also kinda nervous, just wondering what it was like?

[@bhamptonkc7]

@@catchmeinthecarpoollane9417 They gave me a sleeping pill for the night before and an hour prior to the appointment, one reason to take the night before is if it does not agree with you then you can forgo the pre appointment dose and still do the procedure. Due to other commitments I did not do the night before, the pre appointment does had no effect even after another pill in the inner waiting room. When I arrived they took me to an inner waiting room had me wince with a mouth wash then use a gauze with a prep soap to wash around my mouth then sat in a massage chair in a short time they escorted me to the room, I sat in the chair, heart sensors stuck on two to the left and one opposite, a pulse oximeter finger probe left index finger. The assistant put a elastic band on my arm started an iv in the back of my right hand, not bad, an iv bag was connected usually with anti-inflammatories and antibiotics. Memory fails at this point, I think your pretty active for some of this time, I have flashes of getting out of chair and to dads car, i even took a selfie that i barely recall. I was most concerned with pain management after, follow the doc instructions and stay ahead of the pain, take a pill as soon as you get home, ice packs ect. Stool softeners counter act the tendency for pain meds to cause constipation. Make sure All your paper work is done before procedure day. Hope this helps.

[@ekk1067]

for anyone getting it out soon it's not bad at all. For me, I was knocked out when they gave me the IV then I woke up and I was done. And I didn't say anything strange, I just felt really sleepy.

👋 Anyone reading the comments about to have their surgery … let me explain my experience. ( I got them out 5 hours ago ) I WAS A NERVOUS WRECK before hand watching every video possible reading all experiences on reddit and comments on these videos from the good ones to the bad ones. I’ve been nervous since they told me last year they were coming in. It was a peice of CAKE for the people like me who have severe anxiety about medical stuff you will be just fine! I wasn’t worried about the recovery more so the surgery itself, and a little stressed about the IV ( i was put to sleep with IV sedation ) the IV was NOTHING me and the assistant were giggling and I was asking if I should watch him put it in or look away and he promised me it was nothing and maybe id enjoy watching it go in.. I looked away 😭 but it barley felt like anything, like a poke a tiny little prick. they put the thing on to check my blood pressure every 5 minutes and the thing on ur thumb along with some like patches they put on my lower side and chest. Sat there for about 30 minutes with the IV in my arm until the doctor was ready. He came in asked how I was lowered the chair down and put this thing on my neck to monitor my breathing I think he said,, and then he released THE GOOD ( the fluids into the IV ) it was a crazy experience.. like i was out but wasn’t ? all i last remember is seeing is the light and then within seconds it was done. I was so stressed for NOTHING. so glad I went with IV sedation because I didn’t feel a darn thing! 😂 and the loopyness afterwards ain’t all that bad either. I would definitely do it over again and take away all the stress from before because it was nothing.

The procedure was quick and I always see people spilling secrets or talk nonsense but I knew everything just dizzy as heck. I couldn’t stand alone. I’m having ibuprofen 800 one every six hours and amoxicillin for infection. I was on soft diet yesterday, but today I’m eating normal with a swollen face. I can barely eat cause the jaw hurts when I open. I stop bleeding since yesterday. Well this morning while brushing I bled a little.

I have to get a root canal done next Tuesday on tooth #4. This will be my third root canal I’ve gotten. The first two were a breeze. I felt nothing. The two dentists that did the root canals were great. This third root canal that I’m getting, I’m a little nervous about because my dentist is going to do it. Every time I go to him for a filling, about half way through, I start feeling the drill. I ask him if he’s almost done because I’m feeling some pain and he says that he’s almost done and asks if I want another shot of anesthetic and I say that if he’s almost done, just finish it and I’ll just suffer through it. I don’t want to start feeling any pain with a root canal. I don’t know if he starts too quickly or if I’m just use to getting novocaine and I’ve built up somewhat of an immunity to it. Maybe I should ask him to give me a double dose of it. Something else that makes me nervous is some people that go to him have horror stories about their experiences with him. Not so much with root canals (I hope) but other work they had done. I knew someone that couldn’t open her mouth all the way for a very long time because of a mistake he did. I just hope things go smoothly for me with no problems 🙍🏼‍♂️.

My boss said that when he had his wisdom teeth removed he was given strong numbing or pain killing medications and during the surgery and after it he felt "great" (so to speak) but after the teeth were extracted and the medication wore off, it was like getting hit by a truck. He suddenly felt pain and it lasted days. (My boss is a dermatologist).

[@EVentures888]

My dentist is proposing three administration of IV sedation, each at 15 minute intervals, for extraction of two lower wisdom teeth. He is charging me $225 for each IV sedation administration, totaling $775 for the IV sedation. Based on your video, you administer the IV sedation only once at the start of the procedure. Is that correct? Please clarify for me.

[@calcaterrafamilydentistry]

IV sedation and general anesthesia are typically billed in 15 minute increments. Billing begins when enough medication is administered so that the patient need to be actively monitored. This typically occurs when the first round of medications are administered. Billing ends when the patient is alert and oriented enough so that he/she no longer needs to be monitored. Thus, any quote is typically based on the duration of time that the patients is "under". It is not based on how many times medications are administered. In this video, because it was such a long case, medications were administered multiple times throughout the case.

What is your sedation protocol at this facility? I'm curious!!! So let's say you have a 65 in 70 kg Male getting the root Canal, and Extraction. Are you using Versed, and Fentanyl? Do you monitor ETCO2 here? ETCO2 is very good monitoring device in conscious sedation.

[@calcaterrafamilydentistry]

Every case is different. We normally use IV midazolam and fentanyl. In most cases, the patient's weight is not a significant factor in the quantities of drug administered. We do monitor ventilations with ETCO2 - although when doing oral surgery under moderate sedation - it not as reliable as we would like.

[@katscratchfever3506]

Question. Is sedation recommended for anxiety as well as pain? I've not been to the dentist in a very long time, simply because I'm absolutely phobic. The longer I go, the worse my teeth get, and the more embarrassed I am to see a dentist, even if I would have the guts to go. I need dental care badly, but I can't break this cycle of being petrified. I wonder if sedation is something to consider. Of course, getting myself to even walk in the door would be a challenge in itself lol.

[@calcaterrafamilydentistry]

IV Sedation is mostly used to reduce/eliminate the anxiety associated with the procedure. All patients are given local anesthetic (aka novocaine) - which eliminates the pain but does nothing for the anxiety with the procedure.

IM CONFUSED: If even with the IV sedation that you can still feel all the painful parts, what is the point in getting it?? In 2 weeks I am due to get oral sedation with a pill I take the night before, and then an hour before procedure (Pulling a wisdom tooth, Root Canel, and a couple cavities, all along 3 teeth in order).. I didn't think the pill would do much so I am thinking of getting the IV as well as the pill. I was thinking the IV would allow me to be "loopy" that I wouldn't really understand too much what was happening and so I wouldn't necessarily react or think the same during the freezing parts, and the procedure itself, plus having to tolerate 2 1/2 hours in the chair... If I get the pill, is the IV not worth it then? (I am likely going to need to pay for it since dental coverage is likely not going to pay for it; only the pill) What am I not understanding?? Thanks

[@calcaterrafamilydentistry]

We're not sure why you think you are going to feel pain. No where in the video did the patient feel pain. In IV sedation, you are brought into a twilight state, and then local anesthesia (aka novocaine) is administered. In the vast majority of cases, the patients remember nothing, and of course felt no pain (because of the novocaine and the sedation). Hope this clears up your confusion.

So dose anxiety cause gagging? ..I need a few things done .. would you suggest iv sedation? I would like to go to ur office if insurance is taken

[@calcaterrafamilydentistry]

Every patient is different, but after completing over one thousand sedations, we can say that we've helped many patients just like you. Severe anxiety can cause a gag reflex to get worse. We see people from all the states that border CT. Generally speaking, we participate with most insurance plans. But certain union plans from the NY city area as well NY state medicaid we do not participate. You are welcome to call if interested.

Got mine out. I was sooo drugged up I remember nothing...😂..love the cricket sound effects..🤣

[@ALPHADARKFANG]

[@pitoumil7447]

for people like me getting difficult to numb by local anesthesia, i dont think iv sedation can help me bcoz i will still feel the pain if anesthesia fail.

[@calcaterrafamilydentistry]

IV sedation along with proper long anesthesia works the vast majority of time. We've had MANY "I can't ever get numb" patients who have been treated successfully using this technique.

[@davidh9820]

My problem is not that I’m afraid with dental work. My only issue is that I gag a lot. When I have my mouth open for too long. The phlegm start to accumulate on the back and then I wanna throw up . That’s my only problem with dental work. Will this sedation still work for this problem ?

[@taresko3659]

thede videos makes my mind so peacful iwas scared now icant wait to get rid of all my 4 wisdom's teeth and to see myself saying weird things after the surgey😂❤

[@jamedlock83]

what was the medicine under the tongue for?

[@ROANALEXIS]

My husband had 1 wisdom tooth pulled out last week. It was no pain but I’ll tell you, when I first saw him after the procedure, he was drugged up and hallucinating, it lasted for 2 hrs. I was so scared and worried. We suspected that its a high dosage of medication that was given to him. Just be careful.

[@evanspiegel3873]

I’m a child I don’t have to get my wisdom teeth out because well I’m a kid but when I grow up I don’t feel comfortable like falling asleep in front of my mom dad or brother or waking up so what do I do?

[@kennedy4257]

Do they often do this for severe dental anxiety when doing other procedures such as cavity fillings, root canals, simple tooth extractions?? I have really bad anxiety and there’s no telling what I’d do.

[@Rvideos002]

Very late replying but they would prescribe you an anti anxiety medication

[@sarahkeller1157]

Doctor calcaterra does a good job 👍

[@laurenx2047]

I thought that when you get the needle in your arm with the liquid it makes you feel no pain and if that’s true then why do you need the injections in your mouth still?

[@calcaterrafamilydentistry]

The needle in the arm is the IV. The medications we administer through the IV make the patient sleepy, euphoric, and eliminate any memories of the procedure. But for this level of sedation, the IV medications do not eliminate pain completely. So we still have to get her numb. Adrianna has no memory of the numbing.

[@laurenx2047]

Calcaterra Family Dentistry oh yh, I had the iv thing yesterday and I don’t remember much tbh. All I remember is going in and them doing the iv and then I woke up and went to the recovery room for like 10 mins. Overall it was a good experience :)

[@nicolefl.9119]

I had two root canals done on my front teeth due to an accident and two wisdom teeth done at separate times, neither time was i sedated. The dentist numbed me and went to town. Did I feel a lot of pressure, yes. I don’t understand why they sedate people. He did have to keep numbing me every so often. My dentist is amazing and I have had him for many years so I trust him.

I'm getting a root canal for a dead tooth in about 3 weeks, do they hurt? Im going to Bridgeport family dentistry in case u know them, in Tacoma Washington.

[@WalterTheExaltor]

All four of my wisdom teeth impacted my 2nd molars , I've already had my top left molar removed because of it but my question is can I just have the remaining unsalvageable molars pulled without having to have the wisdom teeth cut out as well? I have an appointed on the 28th to have 7 teeth pulled 4 being wisdom and 3 the remaining 2nd molars and I just think that's way to much for one visit

[@joyberryyy]

How was it? I'd rather have my 2nd molar pulled too than getting my wisdom tooth out

[@furulund]

Is it routine to use IV for a wisdom teeth removal? I had mine removed with some local anesthesia and went back to work afterwards

[@candywilson3884]

It really depends on the dentist and patient, but it’s not uncommon.

Was it impacted wisdom teeth and how many you gave to remove? Please reply because i need to get 3 impacted wisdom teeth removed and I'm confused about what should i get

@@mamatapandey6073 For me it was one impacted (horizontal) in my upper jaw. If you have no dentist fear i can recomend local anesthesia. I didn't feel a thing

[@adamwaskiewicz7378]

Was the sublingual med triazolam, midazolam or something completely different? Just curious about the applied pharmacology here because I had my teeth out about 30 years ago, and I am wondering if the protocols are different, generally speaking..( I realize drs can use what they want). Was the IV med propofol? I could not see the opaque fluid... I think they gave me thiopental sodium 30 years ago... Thanks.

[@calcaterrafamilydentistry]

The sublingual medication was triazolam. Sodium thiopental is almost never used anymore in outpatient dentistry/oral surgery. Most younger clinicians trained on propofol/midazolam/fentanyl.

[@adamwaskiewicz7378]

Thanks!

[@chanelcardine8132]

Why is she awake I thought you sleep through it

[@calcaterrafamilydentistry]

There was no reason to keep her fully sedated when we transitioned from the root canal to the extractions. So we allowed her to become more alert. She was fully sedated for the root canal and then the wisdom teeth extractions.

[@Louisiananews]

What was the sublingual medicine?

[@calcaterrafamilydentistry]

Triazolam. For long cases like, oral and/or sublingual triazolam can complement the IV medications for a smoother sedation.

In our experience, IV sedation along with profound local anesthesia can overcome nearly all of the intraoral gag reflexes that we've encountered.
