>50iqcel Posted April 3, 2020 Share Posted April 3, 2020 I want to get my wisdom teeth removed under twilight sedation or general anesthesia. Does anybody have experience with this? What's a hospital that would do this or Assavanant? Price is not a concern. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
still_shameless Posted April 4, 2020 Share Posted April 4, 2020 I need this too. Twilight sedation is out for me. I've had eye surgery twice under twilight sedation. Not fun. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's more to keep you calm, on the assumption that you are simply a nervous patient. For most people it is fine. It doesn't block pain. In my case, i need work done on my lower teeth and blocking injections literally do not work on one side of my lower jaw. The rest I'm happy to have done just under a local. When I had eye surgery under twilight medication I had local anaesthetic as well and it was still painful but bearable. No way am I getting major dental work with no effective blocker under twilight. Problem with most dentists is that they think you are imagining it if they give you 3 or 4 times the usual amount of anaesthetic and you are telling them it didn't work. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
>50iqcel Posted April 6, 2020 Author Share Posted April 6, 2020 In my country , they trust me. They inject enough local anesthetic Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
still_shameless Posted April 6, 2020 Share Posted April 6, 2020 I have had up to 6 shots on the left side of my lower jaw. Still doesn't work. It's nothing to do with injecting enough or not. Right side, 2 shots, I'm all good. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
>50iqcel Posted April 6, 2020 Author Share Posted April 6, 2020 it's just your tolerance then. Where are you thinking of going? Bumrungrad? Is bumrungrad the best hospital still for everything? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
still_shameless Posted April 7, 2020 Share Posted April 7, 2020 Bumrungrad was where the dentist tortured me last time. By most reports it is very good. But aimed primarily at well funded foreigners. "Just my tolerance"? Nah, just weird nerves. My pain threshold is high, and 75% of my teeth respond normally to anaesthetic. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
