Are dentists properly trained to handle airway and breathing emergencies? I'm supposed to get 4 impacted wisdom teeth out that I left in for a little too long, so they want to heavily sedate me with IV benzos. I know general anesthesia has its inherent risks too, but would it possibly be safer to do that since a licensed anesthesiologist would be present?
