When u r on sedation .. they deliver injection to ur gum .. will u still feel the pain ..?? and all the?
Answer:
If you feel ANYTHING, they did it wrong - change dentists. My dentist has to tell me when he's giving an injection because you really can't fell the needle go in. Once the injection has been accomplished, if you feel any discomfort, the dentist didn't do it right.
Remember, the guy with the lowest grades in his graduating class is out there practicing dentistry somewhere, but, the top guy is, too.
why the hell do you think they give it to you
I just had an infected wisdom tooth pulled 2 weeks ago, with local anesthetic only - no sedation - and there was no pain or discomfort of any kind! I didn't even feel the injections of anesthetic. Before using any injection needles, my oral surgeon used Q-tips soaked in a topical anesthetic liquid or gel, and applied it to the areas of my gums and roof of my mouth that he was going to inject. He had me hold the Q-tips in place for a few minutes for the topical anesthetic to take effect. Then, when he used the needles for the anesthetic injections, I couldn't feel them at all. Finally, he had me wait at least 20 minutes for the anesthetic injections to take effect, before he began the actual extraction procedure. With this thoughtful and careful preparation, I felt no pain, pressure, or discomfort whatsoever. Even though I was fully awake, the only clue I had to what was happening was the brief crunching sound I heard.
BTW, I asked about how the procedure would have been different had I opted for IV sedation or nitrous gas. I was told it would be the same: They would still use the topical followed by the injected local anesthetic, because the sedation itself does not provide pain relief. The sedation merely relaxes you and makes you not care about, or remember, the experience. I hope this helps.
When injecting, you will feel the needle poking into your gum. Then, you will feel numbness. If you don't something is wrong. My mum once experienced where no numbness after the injection. Then the dentist noticed that the medicine has actually flow out through the decayed tooth, another injection was given to her.
Ok, seriously, I've seen you post a ton of questions on sedation, let me break it down for you. There are 3 main types of sedation that can be performed in a dental office: 1. Nitrous oxide (laughing gas)-basically calms you down and reduces the gag reflex. 2. Oral sedation: You take a pill or let one dissolve under your tongue. This typically calms you down and may have an amnestic effect so you wont remember the procedure. 3. IV sedation: An IV is placed in your arm and you receive drugs through the IV. This is highly effective to reduce anxiety and recollection of the procedure, but is not offered at many dental offices. Now, say you are either orally or IV sedated, you will still receive anesthetic injections and will feel it, but you probably wont remember them due to the drugs. After that, the dentist will do whatever you need done, and you will still feel pressure, anesthesia does not take away the sensation of presssure,but again, you probably wont remember it. The drugs will eventually wear off, and 3 hours will have passed but you may think it was more like 5 minutes. So, dont worry, you will be fine.
