👋 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.

I watched this last night and went to get my wisdom teeth removed this morning. They put a needle on my vein and after a few seconds they told me the product was going to be injected and that it'll be in effect in 30sec or so. I was taking a deep breath and fell asleep as if taking a nap watching tv or something. After 40-50min i woke up and all was done! I paid the bill and listened to post op instructions😉 now i cant eat anything solid for a day so i'm having my 3rd bottle of yogurt. There's a bit of pain on my left chin but i'm happy and relieved🙌You will be fine too!

[@bnnyrabbit]

Im 24. A month ago I was extremely nervous to have three of my wisdom teeth extracted. This was my first surgery of any kind and the first time being put under. I had no idea what to expect under Iv sedation. The only thing I remember is getting the IV and everything else after that is erased from my memory. I would get Iv sedated all over again, it really is incredible what happens. I’m still fascinated to this day, hence why I’m watching this yt video lol If you’re reading this and you’re nervous about a dental procedure, I totally understand, all it takes is a good doctor and the right anesthesia to make the experience painless and easy

[@carlosvalentin7485]

That’s exactly what just happened to me today, I got 3 extracted, but I was amazed and terrified and the thought of being pumped up with anesthesia and not being able to remember anything. They gave me some laughing gas, fentanyl, and I’m sure a couple other things. It’s just crazy to think about

I’ve watched many of the extraction videos on KZbin this is very useful thanks for the concise explanation.

[@nelsoncr2817]

TattooedRatt0,, did you get laughing gas? I got 4 teeth pulled yesterday, and I got laughing gas before they put the iv, and I didn’t even feel a single thing when they put the iv, because the laughing gas made me feel high, and then the surgeon told me, that he would put some sleepy sleep medicine through the iv, and then about 5 seconds later, he told me that they’re already done. Also, make sure to ask that they put the iv in the forearm, because I have read online, and been told by a nurse, that that’s the least painful spot, and on top of the hand is horrible.

For those of us who suffer from severe vasovagal syncope, allergies to epinephrine, and severe dental and needle phobia, I'd like to know what the protocol is for sedating someone who's already in syncope, or who goes in to syncope while sedated. My nightmare scenario is having my blood pressure fall through the floor, becoming dizzy, getting pins and needles, the cold sweats, and going 90% of the way to passing out before then being sedated or during sedation, and being aware in that moment of the absolute nightmarish shit hole than I'm in. I don't care if I don't remember any of it afterwards, I don't want to be aware of it at all. Reply

[@Zeggawong]

I was a little disappointed when I heard I was getting IV sedation over general anaesthetic especially for the price charged but I feel a little better now. Cost for IV sedation on top of procedure in Australia is around $1200. PS for those with anxiety. I just hope its not under Fentanyl. I had Fentanyl for a colonoscopy and endoscopy and repeatadly "woke up" in pain in a panic of where I was and what was happening. They then accused me of being a drug addict (Never) when I was recovering to try and make it my fault they didn't do the job properly.

I just can't get the floss in without snapping onto the middle I have tried but I have such a hard time I might be hurting my gums more than helping. Sorry I posted a loaded comment but I just have a lot I'm confused with.
