What type of anesthesia can be given?
There are several types of anesthesia that can be given depending on your level of comfort. The first is local anesthesia, which will numb the area. The second form is nitrous oxide sedation. The nitrous oxide is a gas that you breathe through your nose. It gives a floating in space feeling. The third is IV sedation. This is administered through an intravenous injection into your arm. With the IV sedation you will be partially conscious and somewhat aware of your surroundings. The fourth type of anesthesia is general anesthesia. General anesthesia is also administered through an intravenous injection into your arm. With general anesthesia the patient will be unconscious and, in most cases, will not remember the surgical procedure.
