Anaesthesia means loss of sensation. Tooth extraction and wisdom teeth removal surgery may be carried out using local or general anaesthesia. the procedures can also be done with or without help of sedation.
Local Anaesthesia is a nerve block and numbs the part of the body where the procedure is to be performed. It is done in the clinic and you are awake and free of pain. It is advisable to have a normal meal before wisdom teeth removal surgery under local anaesthetic.
General Anaesthesia is performed at Hospitals equipped with the safest and latest dental and medical technology for tooth extraction and wisdom teeth removal surgery. General anaesthesia is generally considered as being put to sleep. However this is not true. Rather the anaesthetist puts the patient in a state of carefully controlled unconsciousness for the duration of the oral surgery or wisdom teeth removal. This is achieved and mantained by drugs with a mix of gases. While you remain unaware of what is happening around you, the Anaesthetist monitors your condition closely and constantly adjusts the level of anaesthesia during the oral surgery or tooth extraction.
Differently than with IV Sedation , when patients are usually sedated by the surgeon or an anaethetist in the dental clinic , the patients under General Anaesthesia are totally monitored in a very safe hospital enviroment with a number of health professionals supported by registered nurses and state of the art hospital equipment. General Anaesthesia is only performed by an anaethetist medical specialist who work together with the oral surgeon and is therefore usually recognized as the safest possible type of sedation or anaesthesia.
