I did local, so I was awake the ENTIRE TIME. I am not going to lie to you, that was the scariest thing I have ever done in my life. I didn't feel a thing, but I was sweating the entire time. My surgeon was EXCELLENT, but I would have gone with general anesthesia if I had known what I was in for.
I had mine done a long time ago so I think the oral surgeon is retired by now. But go for the full knock-out if you can. I didn't have any swelling and had a fast recovery.I heard that sometimes when you just have a local anesthetic or laughing gas, you're still too awake and you tense your neck and jaw muscles in resistance to the back-and-forth tugging.
If you're squeamish or have a low tolerance for pain, then general is probably best.I got mine out back in high school and had the general anesthetic. I fell asleep and woke up in a different room (which was weird), but I didn't remember a thing and had no pain.
I had a wisdom tooth extracted a couple of years ago--only local anesthetic was used. I was definitely anxious, but to be honest, it didn't hurt at all, and the whole thing took less than two minutes. The worst thing about it was my awareness of the brute strength the surgeon used to haul the thing out of my head. Disconcerting, yes. Painful, not at all. And I was able to drive myself home.
I had all 4 done with local. They weren't impacted or anything difficult. Literally 10 minutes for all 4. Easiest money that oral surgeon made.
i pussied out of local. i was already in the chair, ready to get it done. the thought of hearing my teeth cracking was too much. general was easy as cake...

you'll freak yourself out if you keep reading stuff
just like forget about it and do it on the day like if you choke on one of the utensils the dentist uses then whatever you know whatever will be will be like

idk there are risks with general jaja.. so can't take the decision lightly uhuh Also it's like 300 euros sowith local I'll probably be shaking and panicking and stuff.
Exactly, increased chance of DEATH, expensive, you feel woozie and like shit for at least a day, maybe more, on top of the pain. More possible complications. Harder to get an appointment. Should just do it local, the dentist said it looks like an easy extraction, too.
