> I find it strange that in the US full anaesthesia is the default. I don't think is the default. They offer it amongst a range of options, but it's expensive usually on the order of a few hundred dollars extra. I think most people do local + nitrous. The few people who serve really upper middle class areas might offer it by default, but it's generally just not the case for most of the US. I could be wrong though, I don't have actual data, just my own experiences.
