I had Twilight Sleep sedation a few years ago & it was wonderful!! I had an injection in my arm, fell asleep, woke up feeling really comfy, calm & dreamy & EVERYTHING was done! I didn't feel an absolute thing!!
Also because of the sedation I hardly felt anything afterwards. I'd had teeth extracted & fillings & I hardly had a twinge afterwards.
I'm due to go back soon & have more sedation & I'm not worried one bit.
I was sent to a sedation clinic in Brighton and was absolutely terrified. Once in the reception I didn't have to wait too long for x rays then after 5 mins was called through to the surgery (in tears!)The anaesthetist injected my hand (hadn't even looked in my mouth at this stage) and that was the last I knew until I was taken into the recovery room. I have a vague recollection of someone asking me to open my mouth wider, but I felt no pain or didn't hear any unpleasant sounds. I had sedation 2 weeks ago I am agoraphobic and dental phobic but I new I had to get this done I thought once I am there ill be fine and I was, sedation is great once the little needle is put in your hand that’s it you don’t feel or hear anything I had extractions fillings everything done I was back home in an hour and so pleased I went; GO FOR IT ITS GREAT; if I can do anyone can. I had sedation 2 yrs ago for 3 root extractions, as I have a heart condition they didn't really want to give me much in the way of sedation or GA. I had a very low dose of sedation, enough to 'take the edge off,' which for me was enough to work wonders! I was conscious and could see and hear, but beyond that I was only vaguely aware of what was happening. The dentist (hospital dentist) was wonderful, he did such a good job with the IV I never felt that go in, I was aware of the local anaesthetic going in but wouldn't have said it was painful, I heard him ask the nurse for another scalpel (and thought why what u doing??), and was amazed when he said the first root was out! All 3 had to be dug out, but HEAR THIS! I felt no pain during or after, despite having 7 stitches, and was home after an hour and a half Just thought I would tell you (my new friends!) that I had my first of two IV sedation sessions today. And I can’t remember ANYTHING!!!I have no knowledge of any drilling or extractions and apparently I even had a polish!!.....I only remember the IV needle being put in and a pleasant cold rush in my vein! Next thing I was waking up in the recovery room feeling SO relaxed.
This Tuesday just gone I had my first of two IV sedation appointments and I must admit I nearly bottled it but you may have already read my post in this message area!
Yes, I had the four teeth extracted yesterday morning under IV Sedation and am unable to remember a thing about it. I am a little sore today, but have had virtually no pain which is good
