What are the side effects of sedation?

While dental sedation is generally safe, patients may experience side effects such as dizziness, nausea, dry mouth, headache, drowsiness, and, in some cases, a loss of recall of the procedure. These effects are generally mild and short-lived. However, in rare cases, respiratory problems, cardiovascular problems, and allergic reactions can occur. It’s important to share your medical history and concerns with your dentist to determine the appropriate sedation method.
