It is generally safe to sleep after sedation dentistry, but there are some important considerations to keep in mind. Follow any post-operative instructions provided to you by your dentist. It's also a good idea to have someone stay with you for a few hours after the procedure to ensure your safety and well-being.
If you’ve been given you IV sedation or general anesthesia, your dentist may recommend that you avoid sleeping immediately afterward. This is because the effects of these medications can affect your airways and sleeping in certain positions could be dangerous.
