Are you asleep for wisdom teeth removal?

I am a 25 year old male. I want to know if you are asleep for wisdom teeth removal?

Usually yes but it depends on your numbness and position of tooth time consumed in surgery and desire by your dentist.
Depending on the severity of the wisdom teeth and the doctor doing the procedure, you may be put to sleep or not.
I would be if I had to do it again. Get all removed at same time to avoid future visits.
Yes, you certainly can request that. 
You're asleep if you fall asleep. Just poking at you. You can do with or without sedation if you choose.

That is your choice as well as the surgeon’s. It can be done with local anesthesia.
You and your oral surgeon or dentist will determine that. Your preference, the length and shape of the roots, and sometimes finances are all considerations.
It depends if you want to be asleep for your wisdom teeth removal. Oral surgeons can put you to sleep for your wisdom teeth removal.
Sleeping is optional and more expensive but is worth it for some people.
