Did it with GA cos you get put to sleep as opposed to staying awake during the procedure (chicken!)
Adv: You're not aware of whats going on so you dont get nauseated during the operation
Disadv: generally more expensive, leaves you disoriented for several hours afterwards and you get nauseated

Generally a surgeon would recommend LA because its the cheapest option and taking out wisdom teeth isnt necessarily risky/dangerous and it only numbs the area its directed at (i.e. mouth and gums). GA affects the entire body (numbs your muscles and possibly nerves) and puts you to sleep as well. I had 6 teeth taken out (wisdom + 2 2nd molars) using GA and it cost me (if i recall) $2100. Would have been less with LA but I can't tell you how much it depends on the dentist

actually... I am just scared..

that with GA i might wake up with a retarded brain......
and I might die from shock with LA.....
but if i just leave them there i might die from chronic pain that might visit me every now and then!~

actually, i won't die.. but still risky or painful....

haiz ><

what to do!

I'm really sorry to do this, but I have to lock this because it's in the wrong board.

You need to post your topic here: http://www.atarnotes.com/forum/index.php/board,24.0.html

I can't move it for you, because it doesn't work... this would just disappear into the internet black hole abyss.
