Like any medical procedure, sedation dentistry carries potential risks and side effects. However, when performed by a qualified and experienced dentist, the risks are minimal. Common side effects may include drowsiness, dizziness, nausea, and a temporary decrease in coordination.
Serious complications are rare but may include allergic reactions to the medication or breathing difficulties. Your dentist will discuss the potential risks and side effects with you and take appropriate measures to ensure your safety throughout the procedure.
