Conscious I.V. Sedation

Conscious I.V. Sedation. Has anyone had it? What is it like?

Im getting three of my wisdom teeth removed on thursday morning and im going to be under this type of sedation. Im not really sure what to expect. I guess they will slice into the gums, break apart the teeth, and rip them out piece by piece.
I already had one removed, but it had come partially through the gum and it didnt require anything but gauze and vicoden for a day and a half.

Conc. IV sedation, usually involves an iv dose of a benzodiazapine, most often Versed (Midazolam)-- its like valium, however one of the beneficial side effects, is short term amnesia,,,in other words, you forget all of the time you were in the dentists chair, after you get the dose of Versed. Not a bad thing at all!!
It doesnt react with the lidocaine, or stay in your system long enough to interfere with the 'buttload' of narcotic pain medication you will need in the next few days after this procedure.

Its the way to go,,if you are having that much dental work done, at one time.
