Absolutely!!: It is quite common to have IV sedation for oral surgery, especially wisdom teeth extractions. I highly recommend it if there are no health issues, possible reactions with other medications, or other complicating factors. Talk to your dentist/surgeon and he/she can evaluate you as a potential sedation patient.

Yes: Many oral surgeons will use i've sedation. Others prefer to use general anesthesia in a hospital setting. It depends on the patient, degree of surgical severity, locale, and other factors. All can be discussed with your surgeon at the consultation visit before surgery.

Yes: Iv sedation is a common option for wisdom teeth surgery. I personally prefer to extract heavily impacted wisdom teeth under general anaesthesia administered by a certified anesthesiologist. In my opinion this is a safer option as the airway is protected.
