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.
If she is an otherwise manageable patient, I don't understand refusing to do this on a conscious patient if she so desires.
OTOH, and esp. if awake, I probably would encourage her to have only the 2 right side or 2 left side per visit.
If you explain this and they are adamant, I'd find another surgeon.
