Local vs. General Anesthesia for Wisdom Teeth — Which Is Right for You?

Local anesthesia, IV sedation, or general anesthesia — which is right for wisdom tooth removal? Dr. H. Ryan Kazemi explains each option clearly, including what you’ll experience, who each is best suited for, and how to choose.

WHAT YOU’LL LEARN:

• Local anesthesia: awake but numb
• Nitrous oxide (laughing gas): mild relaxation
• IV sedation: deeply relaxed, little memory
• General anesthesia: fully asleep in a surgical facility
• How dental anxiety, complexity, and health history affect the choice
