My daughter had dental extractions under IV sedation in office. I thought after Versed she would forget everything but she recalls the Dr conversation, tugging, sawing, felt the stitches, remembers her shoes falling off four times , essentially everything and the pain.
Her IV site looked normal. She doesn’t take any meds except birth control . She is a college student ( which Dr afterwards says it’s pretty typical that college students require a lot of meds assuming alcohol related?)
I recall Novocaine x 5 injections failing when she was 18 yrs old getting a cavity filled.
I do conscious sedation a lot and we know as a matter of course that people under 30 are harder to sedate. We usually try to schedule them with propofol sedation instead.
