Can an oral/maxillofacial surgeo alson be a practicing anesthesiologist?

Depends : Only if they have done two separate residencies after medical school. I would check to see if they are board certified. A surgeon although they can direct a nurse to give sedation can never actually give anesthetic agents themselves while doing a procedure.
