I'm going to oral surgery in an hour 1

I'm getting my lower 2 wisdom teeth out and one is so fucked I have to go to specialist. Anyway I'm pretty nervous and have been debating being put to sleep or not. I have someone who can drive me. But I'm ALSO just thinking about taking 1 or 2 xanax(will be free from a family member) and then asking them for laughing gas.(to save money) thoughts?
Edit: I'm taking a few dabs for good luck.

Good luck man
Do not take xanax if they're putting you on general anesthesia. It's usually fentanyl so you might die lol, there's a thin line between unconscious and unalive with that stuff
If it's just 2 and they're not super impacted you might not really need general. The anesthesia alone cost me $250 per tooth, which I didnt find out until after. I woke up stumbling around a pharmacy with some cane I found and laughing

Yeah fuck that lol I means what If I took the pill(s) and only asked for nitrous. Is that safe? Or should I just take the pills and only have local anesthesia?

I'd go for local + laughing gas + xanax (a reasonable dose) if it's an option. No dangerous interactions and you might even get a fun buzz out of it.

Also keep up with ibuprofen and ice for a few days after. I had pretty much no pain doing that, saved the opiates I got for later. I never take OTC pain meds but the ibuprofen and ice really cut down the inflammation, which causes a lot of the pain since it compresses the many nerves in that area

Good luck man. I have to get mine removed too. I am not excited about that. At least I still have time, about a year till it gets serious. I find it ironic that our own teeth can harm us if we dont do something about them. Something poetic about it.
Anyway, Stay Strong, Be Brave and Good luck

I had all four removes over a timespan of about five years or so.
Gave me a local every time.

if you take a benzodiazepine and they don’t know - and they sedate you IV style + give you the gas (I got both when they took out all my wisdom teeth at once), Reason being they might miscalculate how much to give you...I would play it safe.
Why the hell don’t you just ask the orthodontist or whoever it is that’s doing the surgery? They would tell ya and be cool likely.

I had to go to an oral surgeon for my wisdumbs because a couple of mine were impacted, and my teeth all needed to be broken apart piece by piece to fit out of my mouth(fun!).
It's a piece of cake, you'll be fine - assuming they're using that 'twilight anesthesia' stuff you're going to blink your eyes and the procedure is going to be done. I was all smiles and thumbs up coming out of that. Felt like I got punched in the jaw, I don't do opiates regularly so the percocet they gave me had me puking pretty badly that first night, especially as you can't really eat solid foods for a bit. Truthfully the pain wasn't something I felt like I needed opiates for UNTIL I smoked weed like 10 days after, and ended up getting dry socket. That sucks. They tried to shove more pills at me, and didn't even fix the dry socket and it was agony, nothing touched that pain. I had to go back a second time and saw another practicioner, and they were appalled with how it was handled. It literally took 2 seconds of putting clove packing in, and then I didn't even need ibprofen.
So the moral of the story is smokeless/vapeless weed only. I think using a straw to drink some iced coffee on the same day got me too, but I had read that it would be okay to get back to things after a week

When I got mine out I got the package deal - twilight sedation = IV sedation + the funny gas .
Right after they hit me with the powerful stuff I was totally gone, however - for a brief moment I broke from sedation, and saw the cart with the tray of tools on top of it that they’d be using while working on my mouth/teeth. And I extended one arm and my face lit up in horror for a split second as if to be like - NOooo! - almost simulataniously one of the nurses or aids puts the mask that gives you n02 onto my face - and then I came to several hours later in the car being driven by a family member, safe and sound and supremely high on the way back home.
I didn’t need or use any painkillers after the procedure was done besides an occasional OTC nsaid.

I'm back. I only took half a blue xanax before going in and had nitrous the whole time of surgery. Not going to lie there were 2 points in surgery where the pain was so bad I cried which I NEVER do from pain. But other than that this guy was klutch. He got both done in 30 min. I'm still numb and have a dull soreness deep inside my lower jaw. Thank god they prescribed me norcos.

Oh I didnt have enough money even with my private insurance to do all four....so as soon a these heal in a week or so I got to regular dentist to get top removed with no nitrous or anything 
Edit: I have high tolerance for any substance I take. Looking back I should have taken the whole xanax before the nitrous. I mean it was ok but could have been better. I'm for sure going to take a whole blue for the tops :/

Be well.
The Monday before thanksgiving, I went to THE Ohio State University School of Dentistry for a molar that had been impacted by a wisdom tooth. They made me pay for the consult/extraction $130, plus $30 for nitrous if I so chose with the understanding that if I went without I’d be refunded. I went without and a 90lb shaky 2nd year student performed her first extraction over the course of 40min. It was a lot of rocking and elevating and I understand they don’t want to fracture the tooth but damn, a local only lasts so long and it could have been achieved with a touch more force early on. I was still super appreciative and glad I could give her an opportunity to perform IRL. I got a check 3 months later from the university for $30 and it took me a few minutes to put 2&2 together.
TLDR
Dentistry Schools are a great option for low income persons of those without dental insurance. Aspen Dental wanted $2,700 to make me an instagram model. Fug dat! You also benefit our future DDSs.

Yeah. The main reason I didn't go under was because my gf. I've gone thru too much to get to her for me to even risk a .001% chance of dying and never getting to her.
Ps. Thank every one of you for responding. I really do love you guys and hope you are all staying safe and doing the best you can
