I Need to Have My Tooth Extracted, but I Get Panic Attack….?

Question by maheman: I need to have my tooth extracted, but i get panic attack….?
Hi
Actually, It’s my friend who has a broken tooth and need to have an extraction. He is overseas in middle east.
He can’t do an extraction here because he gets panic attack. He needs to be unconscious or hypnotized or any new methods.
I have a question.
Has anyone have any idea?
How should he do it when he gets panic attack?
If he needs to be unconscious, how much does it cost?
By the way, he lives in Virginia, Virginia Beach
Thanks

Just a heads up,you may not want them to give you the drug called Versed
( Midazolam )
In fact, many people who use Versed for ” IV Sedation,Conscious Sedation” during a procedure are awake for the entire procedure but remember nothing, often believing they were “out” the whole time.

Versed (Midazolam) is an amnestic. It is commonly administered in combination with anesthesia before and during surgery. It is also commonly used for minor procedures like colonoscopies dental procedures like extractions,conscience sedation,twilight sleep, so that patients won’t remember pain and discomfort.HOWEVER THAT DOES NOT MEAN THAT THOSE SENSATIONS WILL NOT BE EXPERIENCED!!!!Forgetting does no mean it did not happen!! Amnesia does NOT take place for some patients.

IT’S NOT MY INTENTION FOR YOU TO NOT GET THE PROCEDURE DONE, JUST INFORMING YOU THAT YOU MAY WANT IT DONE WITH ANOTHER DRUG!!!!!

Here is a note from a Dentist about Versed
I’ve used Versed 1000+ times during oral surgery procedures and I’ve never had a complaint. It’s a miracle drug because it is safe and it causes you to not remember an unpleasant experience. My answer to him is isn’t it better to have not experienced the pain than to have forgot it. No wonder you have had no complaints you gave them amnesia!!
