I'm scheduled for wisdom teeth removal next week, and I'm kinda torn—laughing gas seems easier to bounce back from, but IV sedation means I'll be totally out (which sounds appealing tbh). What did you guys choose and how'd it go?

I went with IV sedation myself because honestly, the thought of being totally knocked out sounded way better than being half-aware during the procedure. It was pretty smooth—one second I'm chatting nervously with the dentist, next thing I know I'm waking up in recovery wondering when they're gonna start (spoiler: already done lol). Recovery was a bit groggy but manageable. Either way you'll be fine, but if anxiety's an issue, IV sedation might be worth it. Good luck!
