Hello,
With the question “Is it possible to have anesthesia when extracting 2 teeth number 8? ", the doctor would like to answer as follows:
Currently, the most commonly used method of anesthesia for patients with tooth extraction is local anesthesia. Even with tooth number 8, some doctors as well as patients who cooperate well can apply this method. However, if for some reason: the patient is afraid, anxious, the surgery is long, painful, ... then the anesthetic method can be applied to extract the tooth.
Before surgery, you must be examined by an anesthesiologist for a pre-operative assessment: medical history, allergy history, cardiovascular and respiratory function assessment, preoperative tests, fasting, ... to ensure safety before surgery and surgery under anesthesia must be performed in the operating room with full monitoring facilities, necessary anesthetics and resuscitation.
If you still have questions about anesthesia when removing 2 teeth, you can go to the hospital of Vinmec Health System for further examination and advice. Thank you for trusting and sending questions to Vinmec. Wish you a lot of health.
Best regards!
