Do i have to have to be put to sleep to have 3 impacted wisdom teeth removed?

[Lacy]

I have a huge fear of being put to sleep.I don't like the idea of it even a little bit.I have been put to sleep once my entire life and that was recently this December due to complications of excess bleeding during an emergency c section.i was not a smoker at the time and now i am.Anyway,i am terrified of the thought of being put to sleep and the dentist that is doing it is being pushy about the being put to sleep part.Is there anyway that i can go around this?I will be givin 3 shots in each gum per tooth that is being taken out so all 2gether that will be 9 shots.im thinkin that I shouldnlt feel pain,only pressure so i also see no need to be put to sleep and I do not want 2 b put to sleep if there is anyway that i can avoid it.Can i get some opinions and/or advice please?
