Hi, I am needing my wisdom teeth taken out along with some cavities filled. I plan on being put to sleep for my wisdom teeth. Can they fix my cavities while Im alseep also? I only say this because i have an intense fear of the dentist/ needles for the majority of my life. Ive been sent to a few different dentists because of this fear. Ive had great teeth for my youth and now onto adulthood. But since its been years, I have some work that needs done again. So in short, would they be able to fix my cavities also while im asleep?
Hi Dear, Welcome to Chat Doctor Team. Understanding your concern. As per your query you wants to get wisdom teeth extraction and cavity fixing be done which can be done while you asleep, this can be done under general anesthesia. I would not recommend you to get it operated under general anesthesia as it requires a team of experts with advanced training and as breathing tube is inserted there are chances of complications. I would suggest you to visit oral physician once and get your procedures done under local anesthesia as filling of tooth is a very minor dental procedure, and you will not feel any pain under local anesthesia. Maintain complete oral hygiene and follow post op instructions. Hope your concern has been resolved. Get well soon. Best Wishes,
