WTF kind of drugs your dentist's give you? When I had my wisdom teeth removed I just got local anesthesia which made my mouth area numb and insensitive to pain for a few hours. I could literally drive home immediately after the procedure if I wanted to. Europe, for reference. Does this differ between the countries so much?

General anaesthetic is pretty normal for a wisdom teeth removal. It's potentially quite a big procedure, depending on how impacted the teeth are...and how many are impacted. @zach@lemmy.dbzer0.com's comment below gives good explanation.

I got mine removed in Vietnam and was put fully under.

They used to put you under and then give you a prescription for as many opiates as you could ever want here in Canada, but it was abused so now they just rip em out and send you away with instructions to take some ibuprofen.

Europe probably had the right idea, by the end of the second day I was only taking pain meds before sleep.

I was under general for several hours for mine (UK), but mine were complicated. Still didn't get any drugs that good though.

Same, but I had a bit stronger medication (I didn't go under, but I was pretty out of it), but was pretty clear-headed by the time I got home.
