Oral sedation is generally considered safe when administered by a trained and qualified dental professional. However, there are potential risks and side effects, which may include:
-Drowsiness and grogginess
-Memory gaps of the procedure
-Nausea or vomiting
-Allergic reactions (rare)
-Over-sedation if the dosage is not carefully calibrated
It’s crucial to discuss your medical history and any concerns with your dentist before undergoing oral sedation to ensure it’s a safe and suitable option for you.
