Which option did you end up choosing?

General is the less traumatic option from everyone that I know who has had their wisdom teeth out – and probably more so being a 15 year old.

Did you end up getting the wisdom teeth removed?

What did you end up choosing?

I would have a general – not good with pain.

I would say that general is the way to go.

Thanks for asking this, I’m taking my daughter to get hers removed.

thank you for posting this question

Go for the general! I had 1 wisdom tooth removed in the chair (or face a 3 year waiting list for general) & it was a really horrible experience. It took 1 1/2 hours & they crack your tooth in the gum before cutting it out.

Both my children have had all of their wisdom teeth taken out under General in one go and they were OK.As a child I hated the dentist so my teeth were abscesed before being removed in the chair.Very traumatic go for the General.

General is the only way to go … I had one of mine out in the chair. Never again 16 stitches later it was a mess wrapped around jaw bone… My face was a swollen mess … General is the way I wish I had gone I had the other three out under general no dramas no swelling it was heaps better.

General for sure. I had to have all four of mine removed about 2 years ago now and I went in for surgery for mine (had no choice if I wanted it done in one hit)

I would go for the general. Less pain

Great question, thanks for posting this! I was wondering aswell 🙂

I wish there were an easier and less painful way to have this done.

By now your son and you should have made the decision about his teeth. I agree with others here depends upon your pain threshold and if you think the roots will be long. Mine came out in the chair but had no choice.

General if you can then why not. less pain. And depending on the roots of some peoples wisdom teeth some end up needing a general anyway.

I got 2 out both of the top ones in a chair, I was fine. It depends on whether your son has long roots because if he’s like my husband they will have difficulty getting them out.

General get them all out at the same 🙂

I was 19 with a 6 month old & I had mine at the hospital with a general although I have very large teeth so the dentist advised this, I stayed in overnight but if I had a choice I think I’d opt for the chair, these decisions aren’t always easy, good luck with your son with whichever way you go
