Holy smokes. It sounds like you weren’t given the option, but did you prefer that to the risks of GA?
(Honest question, no agenda. That sounds like something that would make me never go back to the dentist, but maybe that’s just me projecting popular dentist horror.)
- askonomm 4y agoHonestly it's just not a possibility in most of the dentist offices I've visited in Estonia as well as not really a thing (I don't know anyone who has ever gone under GA). Whatever horrible stuff that needs to get done gets done with you wide awake, and that's the norm. Good thing is that it's over pretty quickly. When I lived in Spain I knew they offered GA there, but it usually meant paying 100+ EUR more, which is quite a lot. And europe doesn't really have a thing such as dental insurance. In most countries (Not 100% sure) in Europe you pay out of pocket for all the dentist stuff. Maybe you get a free cleaning once a year. But other than the availability of GA and the money, I have nothing against it and would have obviously preferred that to my experience of medieval dentistry.
