@dscimforjack Don't worry. I'm sure they will give you the first option to buy the audio tape...

@ferrariF47 Novocaine (lidocaine) works much faster than 10-20 minutes. When injected the effect in nearly instantaneous.

i had sedation when they took out 4 of my teeth. i hateee laughing gas because it feels weird! and my lip was numb & my teeth hurt for about a week but it felt normal after :). hehe. i'll be getting braces soon. i chose pulling my teeth instead of expanders because it hurt like fiddlesticks x]! lmfao! i couldn't even eat!

@DecTM well for starters, the effect would end really quickly, and 2 you would stil be able to notice your surroundings, you just wont really care about all those things, it would also make you feel really good whenever you would move , and without any bad side effects apart from a slight headache later, also you would be able to remember everything from the operation if you chose too (but you might be too relaxed to want to try and remember), but also you wont have a David After Dentist moment.

I'm having a tooth out soon, (a fang at the top front of my mouth) I've had 2 lower fangs on the bottom front of my mouth, I had no sedation for them 2, this is my last tooth out before I get a brace but I am extremely terrified about getting this last tooth out, what will I benefit from having this method of sedation?

Please reply :-)
