Why should I be on sedation while removal of tooth?
Q. I had my tooth out recently but upon extraction the tooth broke leaving the roots still in my gum, i have now been referred to a specialist to have the remainder out. It says in the letter that i will be under sedation, what does that actually mean i am a very nervous patient and suffer with panic attacks. Can you help?
A. This is the reason for you being sedated – for patients who are very nerves this makes the treatment easier to cope with. You will remember very little of the appointment and you will feel very relaxed during the treatment.
