Has anyone had dental work done under sedation?

[quaere]

I've been referred to have 2 fillings done under sedation because I have such a severe phobia of the dentist. Just a check up leaves me in tears and 6mg diazepam (which was the max I was recommended at one time) didn't make a dent in the anxiety. I would not keep still when the dentist was checking my teeth and he said it's physically impossible for anyone to do a filling on me unless I'm sedated.

So what's it like? I am scared of being sedated as well because I am worried about not having control and being vulnerable. I assume I'll have to have an IV, hate the idea of that as well. Does it knock you out all together or what? How long does it last? Is it like hospital? I am so terrified!! I also feel like a twat.

I’m having a peg (feeding tube) removed. They do it under sedation but it’s freaking me out. I’ve heard it affects your breathing and you will need oxygen, and even though your awake you don’t know what’s going on as you are really out of it,this makes me anxious as I want to be fully conscious. I’ve always been scared of general anaesthetic and this sounds no different than having an anaesthetic. If I can’t be fully awake I’m not having it done,

If anyone can give me any info on how sedation makes you feel I would appreciate it
