Wisdom Teeth Removal & Anesthesia: What to Expect & Safety

Being put to sleep while having your wisdom teeth removed is not bad; in fact, it is the preferred method for most people. Wisdom teeth removal is a relatively simple procedure, but it can be quite uncomfortable. By being put to sleep, you will not feel any pain during the procedure.

While general anaesthesia has certain risks associated with it, such as potential nausea, vomiting, and a sore throat after surgery, the benefits usually outweigh the risks. The decision to use general anaesthesia or local anaesthesia for wisdom teeth removal is made by the patient, along with the dentist and anaesthesiologist, based on the individual's overall health, anxiety levels, and preferences.
