Wisdom tooth extraction while fully awake

On the advice of our dentist, my daughter is going to an oral surgeon this
week to see if she needs her wisdom teeth extracted. She had oral surgery a
few years ago to connect a chain to an impacted tooth and insisted on
staying awake. She handled the surgery without a complaint. So, now she
wants to stay awake if she needs the 4 teeth removed. She has incredible
staying power but the surgeon's office told me that one of the doctors in
the practice refuses to do them awake, and another only does them once in a
blue moon on fully awake patients and that it is very rare.My daughter is
like me, she is more afraid of the anesthesia. I can withstand quite
intensive procedures without incident while awake and I think she will be
able to do the same. I would like to know the opinions of other surgeons
with respect to wisdom teeth removal. Thanks.
