I had an oral surgeon extract some teeth recently to prepare for implants. It was a two-step procedure separated by four months, and in each case I was put under general anesthesia. I was very worried the first time about being put under, but the procedure was so relaxing I found the whole thing a pleasant experience. When I went to a post-op after the first procedure, I told the oral surgeon that I couldn’t wait to come back and do it again in a few months. He stepped back and looked at me before he said “I don’t believe you”. Still, it was true: I just drifted off and drifted back, and was relaxed for days afterward.
Ha...my husband just had oral surgery yesterday...they just gave him some lorazepam...he had a great time. Much better than going to his Dentist, he said.
