Going to sleep for wisdom teeth?

So my dentist recommends I have 2 wisdom teeth taken out that are not impaced they are already up. But only one of them, the bottom one is causing some problems. Anyways he says that if you take the bottom one out you should also take the top out.





I think I only want to have the bottom one out at least for now. But my question is even though they are already in (not impacted) the person I scheduled my appointment said they can make me go to sleep. I'm wondering do they normally let ppl go to sleep if they arent impacted and you only take out one wisdom tooth. And also, do you think I should go to sleep cuz I have no clue what its like to be knocked out.





Also I know this sounds crazy but I always wanted to know what happens if when ur getting your teeth pulled and you needa pee cuz ur asleep and you cant go up to go to the bathroom. Does your body just allow you to keep holding it in even if you needa go or do you go in ur pants

Going to sleep for wisdom teeth?
I've had my wisdom teeth taken out. It's best to be put to sleep. That's the way it is usually done and I've never met anyone who's had it done while they are awake. As long as your asleep you might as well have them both taken out. When you "go to sleep" you get knocked out rather quickly and then you come to as if no time at all has passed. Your a little drowsy at first but that goes away quickly also. You won't pee your pants. Your body will hold it. It's always a good idea to go to the bathroom beforehand anyway I would think. Sweet dreams!





Here is a good write up about wisdom teeth extraction

Oh, this is good to know...


Why It Is Done


A wisdom tooth is extracted to correct an actual problem or to prevent problems that may come up in the future. When wisdom teeth come in, a number of problems can occur:





Your jaw may not be large enough to accommodate them, and they may become impacted and unable to break through your gums.


Your wisdom teeth may break partway through your gums, causing a flap of gum tissue to grow over them. Food and germs can become trapped under the flap and cause your gums to become red, swollen, and painful. These are signs of infection.


More serious problems can develop from impacted teeth, such as infection, damage to other teeth and bone, or the development of a cyst.


One or more of your wisdom teeth may come in at an awkward angle, with the top of the tooth facing forward, backward, or to either side.





So, maybe It'd be best if you did have them both taken out.





Oh, I had to add something.....


One of my daughters doesn't have any wisdom teeth. Her dentist said that he's been seeing young people that don't have any at all. He thinks that people are evolving without them because they aren't needed. Ask your dentist about that. I thought that was interesting!
Reply:You'll be asleep. I beilve that it'll hold it.
Reply:i am with you.go ofr removing the lower one first,then think for the upper one if req in the future.here i should add one thing that removing the lower one lets the upper opponent to erupt more allowing future caries, food impaction and other complications.to get rid of that you may think for removal of both.tooth extraction usually done under LA.when more than one tooth or impacted tooth req extraction in one sitting,consious sedation is the choice,which i hope your dentist certainly clearify.during the operative procedure your bladder will not trouble you.
Reply:When you are scheduled for dental under general, you are not allowed to eat or drink anything for approx. 6hrs before the surgery--you will not have to go to the bathroom. It is easier to be asleep for the procedure and the medication they use can sometimes decrease the post - surgery swelling.
