I don't know how I'm gonna go with the wisdom teeth thing. I can either be put to sleep and get all of them out or they can just remove the one problem one under local anesthetic, which takes 30-40mins according to my dentist. I really don't wanna go to hospital but it might be easier to just get it over with. =/
Sleep it out. Trust me, I wanted to sleep even for just a minor surgery on my index finger. Reason being is that I don't want to be awake as grizzly-looking tools and knives are being passed around and I'm just lying there helplessly as every painful second slowly passes. Sure, a local anesthetic will numb the pain, but there's still just the WAITING and KNOWING and the WATCHING of what they're doing in the meantime that's a killer. I'd rather just wake up and everything's done. It's the closest you can get to just jumping in a time machine and going to the point in the future to where it's all over with.
