How safe is dental anesthesia?
The safety of dental anesthesia is a complicated topic. If you're just talking about local anesthesia in most dentist's offices, its extremely safe. If you are talking about general anesthesia, it becomes even more complicated. If general anesthesia (or deep sedation) is performed by an Anesthesiologist (an M.D. or D.O trained in anesthesia) it is extremely safe. If performed by a dentist, it is roughly 10 times more risky.

Can you be put to sleep for wisdom teeth removal while pregnant?
It is certainly possible to have anesthesia while you’re pregnant. It is not advised. As far as is known, anesthetic agents have no adverse effects on fetal development. Nevertheless, it is thought prudent to avoid any exposure except in emergencies. In addition, there are physiological changes in the mother starting in the second trimester that increase the risks of anesthesia. READ MORE

Patients are awake during some oral surgery procedures. Some can be done with light to moderate sedation plus local anesthesia given by the oral surgeon. Some procedures require full general anesthesia. Consult your oral surgeon regarding the planned procedure and the level of anesthesia necessary. READ MORE
