General or Local?

I suppose it boils down to how you are with treatment generally. Also who is doing the procedure. If they are more an oral surgeon than general dentist then just stick with local as this kind of stuff is easy for them.
Happy to help with any other Qs pm if you want.

I had all four removed in one go under a general when I was 21. I was kept in hospital overnight and the following morning I went to the bathroom and could not initially identify the person the mirror. It took a full week of serious pain killers before I could go back to the factory floor. The teeth were heavily impacted and some jaw bone came out.Comment

I had all 4 out under general *. I hate dentistry, so a general works well for the sake of everybody! Even now I need a diazapan before even going to the dentist!
* The girlfriend at the time, now wife, got me a welcome home present...... a big box of Thorntons's treacle toffee!Comment

I had 4 out under general, 2 were sideways as your diagram.
I suffered severe bruising swelling and pain, off work for 2 weeks.
but that was only two weeks of pain compared with all the pain from the wisdom teeth and the infections before removal.
Good luck, either way...Comment

But possible. One of my nurses has and extra upper wisdom tooth. A tiny one behind the original. After I took the normal one out the little extra one erupted.
As an aside this highlighted an issue with our computer records which don't allow for the charting of supernumary teeth.Comment

I had mine out under a general and the recovery was the most painful experience of my life - I think they were a bit hard to do because the corners of my mouth were shredded when I woke up. My wife had hers out under a local (as safer than general) and the first one took about 4 ****ing hours and she got an infection too - the bravest thing I have ever seen was her going back for the second round a few months laterComment

Orthodontic my dear Iain -
Hyperdontia is the condition of having supernumerary teeth, or teeth that appear in addition to the regular number of teeth. They can appear in any area of the dental arch and can affect any dental organ.
