7 doctors weighed in across 2 answers
Nothing is 100% safe: But, this is not something you need to fret over. Dentist w/ experience in the pediatric population are very experienced and - next to a parent - they have all the reasons in the world to be very careful. Ask for reassurance since your worries are important too - even if unneeded. Get instructions for before/after and good info. Best!

Depends: Any provider using conscious sedation should have the equipment needed to monitor the sedated patient. They should also be trained in management of any sedation related emergencies.There should be someone specifically monitoring the patient and only the patient during the duration of the medication/ procedure/recovery.
