That's what makes me most nervous. I've never been put out for anything. I'd prefer to be awake for the procedure if at all possible.
That's your preference but I've actually been put under five times for sugeries and there's truly nothing to it. I'm not sure how it's done ofr dentistry but all I know is they give you a little shot that makes you goofy as all hell...you suck on some gas...and then the next thing you remember you wake up and it's done.
I will say I did wake up during shoulder surgery once. That was freaky. :?
Pretty much the same...I had the gas first, then the sedative in the shot. Plus, whoever goes with you gets to laugh at you when you wake up. My dad took me and said I looked like I had just gotten off of a 3 day drinking binge.
Let me give you some advice if you're paranoid (like I am): do NOT look up dry sockets! I don't think I have one but can't rule it out yet aaaaand freaking out about the prospect...ouch!

Aleve works great for toothaches, I have had all four wisdom teeth out
a couple other attractions out and numerous toothaches prior to
many dental procedures.
I was awake for all ...
the laughing gas is a gas
being put under can be a drag. I had that twice in unrelated surgeries
and I felt like a truck ran over me for days after.
Good luck hope you feel better soon.
This as all things shall pass...

It's been said above but all I can say is clove oil, clove oil, clove oil! My ex-husband had some really bad teeth shit goin on for a while back in the day, he was not quick to take anything, or do anything about it but once he tried clove oil was like OMFG why didn't I do this AGES ago!!
Hope things get sorted for you soon with minimum pain(in the mouth/jaw & wallet).
