Anesthesiologist Questions Anesthesia

Will anesthesia be given for wisdom tooth removal?

I'm going to have two of my wisdom teeth removed next week. I was able to make the appointment immediately, because it's causing me so much discomfort. For the extraction, will these both be removed with anesthesia? If so, what kind?

Absolutely, your dentist must tell you what kind.
Local anesthesia is the common way to remove wisdom teeth. IV or Oral sedation is optional for the patient.
