What does having a tooth removed under sedation involve?

Q.
Hello, I have a tooth, lower right hand side at the back, which needed root canal treatment or extraction. I opted for root canal but after several attempts had to abandon this idea as for some reason the tooth or area around it just wouldn’t numb. Instead the dentist tried to dress and fill the tooth. Now a few months later i am in a lot of pain and the tooth needs to be removed. My dentist has told me the tooth needs quartering before removal. bearing in mind the nerve pain i felt during the attempted RC and filling I have been advised to have the tooth removed under sedation. If you have the time could you please explain this procedure to me and tell me what I’m likely to experience.

Sedation can be given either orally or intra-venously. If you’re having an extraction intra-venous sedation will help you feel relaxed during the treatment and should help the local to work by reducing your anxiety regarding the procedure.

You’ll need someone to bring you and take you home from the clinic and won’t be able to drive or operate machinery for 24 hours. Ask your dentist for a full instruction sheet once you decide what to do
