Wisdom teeth extraction: local or general anesthesia?

Another vote for just local anaesthetic being fine. I had both wisdom teeth out on one side, both non-impacted, one at a funny angle digging into my cheek, the other only partially erupted (which meant it kept getting infected, which was AGONY). A few more injections than you would for a simple filling, and they make you wait a loooong time after the injections before they start doing anything so they're sure everything's numb.

It was little bit scary as it's slightly more full-on than a usual dentist visit - face masks, big pointy tools, but it was over very quickly, about twenty minutes in all. A lot of pulling and a slightly worrying creaking noise as the teeth came out, but that was pretty much the worst of it. I took some co-codamol once I got home, but I barely needed it.

The worst thing was not being able to brush my teeth properly for a few days in case I dislodged the clot, to be honest. I've had a root canal and that wasn't horrible, but it was worse than the wisdom tooth ... more.

I cant really gove you an answer,but what I can give you is a way to a solution, that is you have to find the anglde that you relate to or peaks your interest. A good paper is one that people get drawn into because it reaches them ln some way.As for me WW11 to me, I think of the holocaust and the effect it had on the survivors, their families and those who stood by and did nothing until it was too late.
