When you have problems with your tooth, try to remove it if necessary to avoid the other teeth getting infected and eventually having to extract multiple teeth at a time. This procedure will only increase the pain you will feel if you wake up during it. In this situation, this person underwent surgery to remove four of their impacted wisdom teeth. This was not going to be an easy procedure for this fellow.

The doctor asked that he be sedated again, and he went back to sleep. He then woke up a second time, and the doctor was yanking on his jaw. Noticing the patient awake, the doctor gave him another dose. This patient also woke up immediately after the procedure was done.
