Q. I live in Los Angeles and has HMO insurance. I don't think the insurance will cover the anesthesia. My primary dentist is advising to have 2 wisdom teeth removed. I got a quote of $400 for GA. Is that too much? I was thinking of just getting all 4 removed if I have to pay that much for the anesthesia alone.
What's the best alternative for GA and is it tolerable? And how much would it cost?
How much is general anesthesia normally?

A. Just a heads up,you may not want them to give you a drug called Versed
In fact, many people who use Versed for "conscious sedation" during a procedure are awake for the entire procedure but remember nothing, often believing they were "out" the whole time.
Versed (Midazolam) is an amnestic. It is commonly administered in combination with anesthesia before and during surgery. It is also commonly used for minor procedures like colonoscopies dental procedures like extractions,conscience sedation,twilight sleep, so that patients won't remember pain and discomfort.HOWEVER THAT DOES NOT MEAN THAT THOSE SENSATIONS WILL NOT BE EXPERIENCED!!!!Forgetting does no mean it did not happen!! Amnesia does NOT take place for some patients.
IT'S NOT MY INTENTION FOR YOU TO NOT GET THE PROCEDURE DONE, JUST INFORMING YOU THAT YOU MAY WANT IT DONE WITH ANOTHER DRUG!!!!!

A. "Pain free" is possible if you go to an Oral Surgeon (not a regular dentist) who specializes is tooth extractions. He can put you to sleep and when you wake up it'll all be done! Here are some names of credible doc's in your area.
