Wisdom teeth removal and staying a wake
I Need to have two of my bottom wisdom teeth removed since if I do not they will cause me to have crooked teeth. I do not have the room for them to come in like I did for my top teeth. My bottom wisdom teeth are starting to cut though but the dentist said if I do not get them out now they will be pushing my other teeth causing issue.
My dilemma is that I do not want to go to sleep to have my teeth pulled out. I am more afraid of having someone put me to sleep then any kind of pain I may have by not going under. My general dentist that is telling to to have the wisdom teeth pulled said I would need to go to an oral surgeon. This makes me think I have to be put to sleep. If that is the case I know I will not pull the teeth even if I need to.
Will an oral surgeon pull the teeth by just numbing me up? Can that be done? My mom had a tooth pulled with just being really numb up but that was at a general dentist. What can I do?

Call around and ask they may need to see the X-ray to determine if they can pull the while you are wake. I would rather be asleep though something like that. Good luck to you

I can understand your worries but I am not sure you should be a wake for something like that. You would need to see and oral surgeon.
The oral surgeon would be able to advise if you can or should not be a wake though the extraction process.

You are a lot braver then I would ever be. However, I think if you did find a dentist willing to remove your wisdom teeth while you are a wake you may wish you went to sleep.
