All my extractions were done by being put to sleep using gas via a face mask. Absolutely awful and the smell used to haunt me for days, I'd just suddenly get wafts of it. I also nearly fell out of a window after one. They'd proped me up by it as I felt sick as I was coming round.My friend's daughter had to have teeth removed today, under sedation.
This reminded me of when I was young of having teeth removed due to overcrowding!
No sedation then, I was put to sleep!
Can't remember how old I was, but seem to remember that I was around Primary school age, so perhaps 9 or 10! ( about 40 years ago, so giving my age Away)!
Just wondered if anyone else had this done as a child, and their experience etc of it?

Yeah! That's pretty much happened to me! I remember waking up in room with a mouthful of cotton wool!I was put to sleep to have mine removed when I was a kid. Just in the chair at my local dentist . Absolute madness when you look back.

That's them! Cotton wool tubes! Who can forget them!I’m an 80’s kid and I remember that! The experience and the smell still haunt me to this day. And those cotton wool tube things they stuffed inside your gob, I can still feel them! My dentist was awful and she got struck off in the end.
Did anyone have a dental bus come round to their primary school? I remember everyone having to go on the bus and get their teeth checked and if all okay you got a sweet at the end!
