Okay, so I gotta get an oral biopsy done soon and I'm kinda flipping out. Dentist said I can either go with sedation or just stick with local numbing. Sedation sounds relaxing but idk, feels like overkill maybe? Anyone been through this, which did you prefer and why?
Totally understandable to feel nervous, biopsies can seem scary at first. Have you had dental work done before with just local numbing? If you handled that okay, you'll probably be fine without sedation. Either way, it'll be quicker and easier than you're imagining right now. You've got this.
I totally get the anxiety—been there myself. Honestly, local numbing was enough for me, and I'm usually pretty anxious about dental stuff. Just bring headphones or something to distract yourself... it helps more than you'd think. You'll do great.
Local numbing's usually fine, but honestly, if you're super anxious, sedation can be a game changer. I tried headphones once... spent the whole time overthinking my playlist choices. Sometimes less awareness is better, lol.

Local numbing usually does the trick, especially if it's a straightforward biopsy. But yeah, anxiety can make things tougher. Seen patients do well either way—just depends on your comfort level and how much you wanna zone out during the procedure.
