Are you awake for a surgical extraction?
You'll be awake during the procedure. Nitrous oxide (laughing gas) will help you relax during the procedure. It offer minimal sedation, and you are conscious as the tooth is being extracted. Your dentist or oral surgeon can provide you with a pill or tablet to get sedated. Do they put you to sleep for surgical tooth extraction? Your dentist will give you a pill to take at a set time before your extraction appointment.
