I actually found it less weird than laughing gas, which always left me feeling kind of off for hours.
That’s interesting—my experience was pretty similar. IV sedation felt a lot smoother for me, and I bounced back faster than I expected. Laughing gas made me feel lightheaded and a bit anxious, honestly. Maybe it depends on how your body handles meds, but I’d pick IV again if I had to do another extraction. The grogginess passed quickly, just like you said.
I totally get where you’re coming from—laughing gas always left me feeling spaced out and a bit uneasy, too. When I had my wisdom teeth out, IV sedation was honestly such a relief. I was nervous about it at first, but it felt more controlled, and I didn’t have that lingering “floaty” feeling afterward. Still, I know a few friends who actually preferred laughing gas because they didn’t want needles. Guess it really does depend on the person’s comfort zone.
Yeah, I hear you—laughing gas just made me feel weirdly out of it and a bit anxious, honestly. When I had my extractions, IV sedation felt way more chill for me. I was nervous about the needle at first, but it was over before I knew it and I woke up feeling pretty normal. My sister, though, totally freaks out about needles and would rather deal with the floaty feeling than get poked. It’s funny how different people react. For me, IV just felt less stressful overall.
