are they giving you general anaesthetic for removing two molars? Seems a bit extreme to me, unless your jaw opening is really limited.

I have a relative that's an oral surgeon, and he extracted a tooth for me with a local when I could barely open my mouth wide enough to insert a finger. He did freeze the hinge points of my jaw as a precaution, but general anaesthetic is inherently dangerous to being with. The anaesthesiologist is definetely repeating what the lawyers have told him to; all those things can happen.

I know I would be VERY upset to wake up with a front tooth broken off by a canula during the process, or a trach (already had one of those)from ecessive swelling. I think I would be really questioning whether or not surgery of this extent is REALLY necessary to begin with, especially if your teeth are in great shape.
