There are risks when any type of medication is taken. However, in general, sedation dentistry is one of the safest procedures. \u00a0That being said, anytime you add chemicals into the mix, you raise the risks. It is important you tell you dentist everything you’re taking, including over-the-counter medications. Each of these can interfere with how the sedation <\/a>works.<\/p>\n

Though \u00a0your dentist \u00a0knows your parents, he is under ethical obligation to keep your medical information to yourself because of doctor\/patient confidentiality. \u00a0You’ll be completely safe from getting in trouble. You don’t want to risk complications by not being forthright with your dentist.<\/p>\n
