My dentist gave me two options for removing my wisdom teeth a few years ago, 1: go to a dental surgeon and be put under, 2: have some kind of anesthesia but not be "asleep". I chose #2. It was some sort of concoction that, if I remember correctly, was only meant to stop me from remembering the pain/experience.
I don't have the paperwork but I've always been curious what is was that he gave me/if it was common practice. Also, if it was purely a sort of amnesia, was I in excruciating pain during the time?
I have since moved away and not been back to a dentist. If it is common, I can only imagine the stupid things I would have said or done during the procedure since during the onset I remember being extremely high. It kind of made me embarrassed to return the couple of times I did only because I don't remember what I could have done.
