It numbs the tissues to remove all feeling from the area. Local anesthesia may be combined with other types of anesthesia to help you stay comfortable and wake up without any pain. <\/span><\/li>\r\n \t<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Intravenous (IV) sedation is administered through a crook in your elbow or the back of your hand. This type of anesthesia produces a twilight effect, where you are still conscious and able to answer questions from your Houston oral surgeon, but are almost completely removed from outside stimuli.<\/span><\/li>\r\n \t<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">General anesthesia (GA) is reserved for healthy patients in the office setting; patients with health problems may require this type of anesthesia in the hospital. It is typically recommended for the most complex procedures. GA puts you completely to sleep throughout the duration of the surgery. <\/span><\/li>\r\n<\/ul>\r\n<h2><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Waking Up from Anesthesia<\/span><\/h2>\r\n<span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">To ensure you are always safe and receiving the proper amount of anesthetic to remain comfortable, will closely monitor your vital signs throughout the procedure. Dr. Koo and Dr. Weil have also received training in the event of rare anesthetic emergencies from the ACLS (Advanced Cardiac Life Support) by the American Heart Association. <\/span>\r\n\r\n<span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">When the surgery is complete, we will escort you to a recovery room where you are allowed to wake up at your own pace. Your loved one can sit with you during this time. Once you are ready to head back home, we will remind you again of any post-operative instructions and send you and your loved ones on your way. Plan to rest and relax for the rest of the day &#8212; and if you experience any lingering fatigue or nausea after 24 hours, don\u2019t hesitate to let us know. <\/span>\r\n<h2><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">We Can Help You Relax<\/span><\/h2>\r\n<span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Oral surgery doesn\u2019t have to be something to dread or fear thanks to modern anesthesia.
