To be asleep, and then the procedure will be finished. Don't touch the gauze in your mouth when you wake up, although you probably won't remember since you'll be woozy and drugged up from anesthetics. I'd suggest having someone go with you so they can take you home.

sore mouth for a day or two and perhaps overbleeding if it runs in the family (like it did for me)

its not bad

I'll tell you my experience:
I didn't remember getting knocked out. I didn't remember my parents helping bring me home.
When I came to, I felt unbalanced and pain where my teeth were taken out. I spent a few days eating liquids and greek yogurt. Also had to regularly replace the gauze in my mouth with fresh ones. The prescribed painkillers helped.

OP here- Thank you two for the advice :) any more information from anyone else will be appreciated :)

I didnt think the meds would have people out like that, Hopefully I wont say anything weird around anyone, thanks for the advice :)

Mines a bit different as i didnt get put out. I can't do needles in my arm, mouth for some reason i can deal with.

Anywho, they numbed me up and all i felt was pressure on my jaw pulling toward dentist. They gauzed me up and i went on my merry way with my mom at the wheel. I popped a vicadin that day, changed my gauze like 8 hours later (dont be surprised if you still bleed, its like a gooey sive for a day).

Next day i went to work like nothing. Jaw was sore, but nothing i needed to take my meds for.

Just fyi, i had three teeth removed, two still inside, one out. Just do your fast and take meds as needed. Take it slow on your mouth, let it heal.

There's a 50/50% chance of death, so the best thing that you can do to even out your odds a bit is take a coin, choose heads or tails and stick with it. Say you choose tails, keep flipping the coin say 20 or so times until you get heads more than you got tails. That way it'll even out your luck, since you've already used up the majority of your "miss-luck". You'll have a bit higher percentage chance of surviving the procedure.

maybe you should have brushed your teeth more OP

the previous results of a coin toss do not effect the likelihood of it landing on any particular side

the odds are always 50/50 heads or tails no matter how many times you landed either one

Interesting

I'm getting mine done on Wednesday. Been putting it off for about a decade because I was fucking paralyzed with fear about the whole ordeal, but I eventually came to my senses about it.

I had an endoscopy the other week, for which they used the same IV drugs I'll be getting for the tooth extraction (Versed and Fentanyl, though this procedure will also be using Propofol with those). You'll wake up feeling warm and fuzzy like you just had a really nice nap. You won't be able to form memories for a little while after you wake up and it's kind of entertaining how spotty your memory of the recovery room will be. I don't even remember leaving the building; the most recent part I can remember was being on the interstate on the way home (someone else driving).

I'm a very anxious person and I used to get panic attacks frequently, but those drugs will simply keep it from happening at all, so don't worry about it. You won't remember any of the procedure, even if you do wake up during it. If you do wake up, you won't feel any pain or discomfort either. I can totally see why people get addicted to opiates after that experience (presuming it was the Fentanyl making me feel so nice).

So, don't worry about it too much, just follow whatever instructions you got for before/after the surgery (like you probably shouldn't be eating or drinking anymore at this point). It's a standard procedure and your surgeon likely does it several times a day. Good luck to both of us.

I healed really fast and was off the Vicodin in a day. My girlfriend took the full week.

Just be prepared for that just in case.
