Wisdom teeth extraction is a common procedure involving the removal of the third molars when they cause issues. If you need impacted wisdom teeth removed, you may feel anxious or overwhelmed by the idea of sedation during the oral surgery. However, several sedation options are available for patients needing tooth extractions.
Are you wondering about wisdom teeth removal with no anesthesia? A skilled oral surgeon at Absolute Dental can answer your questions and discuss if no anesthesia surgery is an option for you.
Not everybody will need to extract their wisdom teeth. Many people do not experience problems when their wisdom teeth erupt because they have enough room in their mouths and jaws to accommodate the extra molars.
In other cases, wisdom teeth pose a risk to your oral health when they become impacted, cause overcrowding, or damage neighboring teeth. You can even develop tooth decay, gum disease, and infections if these wisdom teeth are not removed.
A general dentist may notice these issues developing and suggest preventative care, such as removing wisdom teeth before they can cause damage. Data shows that as much as 70% of the population experience problems with their wisdom teeth.
What Sedation Options Are Available For A Wisdom Tooth Extraction?
If you or a family member need wisdom teeth removed, Absolute Dental offers sedation dentistry to help you feel comfortable and pain-free during the procedure. Your dentist may recommend:
Local Anesthesia
This option delivers a local anesthetic to the area where the wisdom tooth will be removed. A topical numbing cream is applied to the gums before the local anesthesia is injected directly at the extraction site. While you remain awake with local anesthesia, you should not feel pain during the procedure.
Nitrous Oxide
Nitrous oxide, also known as “laughing gas,” is a breathable gas inhaled for its sedative and pain-relieving effects. The gas slows the nervous system, leaving patients feeling calm and sometimes euphoric until the gas wears off. It is a short-acting sedative that lasts about 10 minutes after being inhaled.
General Anesthesia
General anesthesia may be used for more complex tooth extractions or if more than one wisdom tooth is removed at the same time. An oral surgeon may suggest general anesthesia in a controlled setting to fully sedate you while removing the wisdom teeth.
Other Types of Sedatives
Ask your dentist about other sedation options, including pill sedatives and intravenous anesthetics, to see which one may be right for your wisdom tooth extraction.
No Anesthesia Surgery
In rare cases, you may qualify for tooth extraction without anesthesia. However, this may only be available if you:
Have severe allergic reactions to pain medication
Have medical conditions worsened by sedation
Experience a dental emergency that requires urgent treatment before sedation
If you are a recovering addict and are worried about post-op pain medication, we can also work with you to find a solution that makes sense for your situation.

Why Do I Need Anesthesia During A Wisdom Tooth Extraction?
A wisdom tooth extraction is an oral surgery involving an incision to the gum tissue and cutting through the jawbone to remove the entire tooth. While some wisdom teeth removal procedures are simple and done in the office by a general dentist, others are more complicated and require extensive work by an oral surgeon.
Sensitive nerves and pain receptors in the mouth, gums, and jaw make tooth extractions without anesthesia painful and uncomfortable. Dental professionals typically recommend some type of sedation to numb the area and keep patients relaxed and cooperative. If a patient moves around or does not comply with instructions, it can complicate the situation and be stressful for everybody involved.
Our wisdom tooth specialists in Las Vegas are committed to excellent patient care and a positive experience in our office. We work quickly and efficiently to complete the least invasive wisdom tooth procedure for your needs while focusing on a successful outcome.

No anesthesia surgery is very rare for wisdom tooth extraction, and there may be an acceptable sedation option you may not know about that works for you. Talk to our dentists about your needs and concerns to see what they recommend for your situation.
Without any anesthesia or sedation, you will likely experience pain and pressure during wisdom tooth extraction. However, all patients and procedures are different. Ask your dentist to provide more details on what to expect without anesthesia.
If your dentist uses local anesthesia, you can generally eat before your appointment. Other sedation options require patients to refrain from eating for several hours before the wisdom tooth extraction.
