Today, I got my wisdom teeth pulled. Apparently the medicines don't work on me. I woke up in the middle of the surgery and felt EVERYTHING. One of the nurses asked if I was okay, and the doctor just kept saying "Don't worry she's just dreaming", while tears were pouring down my face. FML

This is a reason why you man up and get local only. That way if they mess up you can tell them right then. They don't use general anesthetics in dentistry since they suppress your breathing to the point you need a tube. They use sedatives which make you unconscious and give you amnesia, but they don't suppress breathing. After they knock you out they give you Novocaine. What happened in this case is that the dentist probably did not give her enough since he could not tell if it was working since she was not conscious at the time. I can understand the need for some medication if the person is extremely anxious, but you don't need to make everyone unconscious for a simple procedure.

Erm, I know many people who have had wisdom teeth taken out under general anaesthetic. If they're only taking one tooth out they might not, but all 4? For sure. My sister went under a general anaesthetic when she was 10 or 11 for oral surgery - one of her 12 year old molars was coming through and causing her massive pain because her jaw was not big enough, so they had to remove the tooth. And she went under general for it.

This FML made my eyes water. My ex-boyfriend woke up in the middle of surgery to get his appendix removed and could feel the cutting.

haha that happens to me every time I get oral surgery (I got jaw surgery and whatnot) I ask for more local anesthesia so if I wake up, at least I'll only see the scalpel going into my mouth. you should try that next time because it sounds like you need more than a regular dose.

FYL. That's what you reach up and smack the ************ off his seat. I had my Wisdom teeth and two 12 year molars taken out and I barely remember even getting in and out of the room it was done in.

I've read stories about this before where the person who wakes up is paralysed by the general anaesthetic, so is unable to move/cry out in pain and the only way of telling you're awake is from the monitors hooked up to you.

Wow, a definite FYL. My boyfriend made them knock me out because he was seriously afraid I would try to punch a doctor if they didn't. I have a thing about people putting their hands in my mouth. I don't know what it was, but it was an IV and I don't remember most of the day. Though it also made me puke my guts out the rest of the day.

I remember having a toothache and dentist provided me vicodin. That stuff did nothing for me. Which is really weird considering I never take painkillers. Luckily the novacane works though.

I would just like to add that wisdom teeth extraction can be considered a major surgery in some cases, given the proximity of the wisdom teeth to your mandibular nerve and sinuses. For my wisdom teeth surgery (and all of my oral surgeries), I was given general anesthesia and a face mask to provide me with oxygen. I was also strapped into the chair to prevent movement. I wouldn't be so quick to call this one fake, although obviously you can never be sure.
