Does dental anesthesia make you nauseous afterwards?

I am a 21 year old female. I was wondering does dental anesthesia make you nauseous afterwards?

Typically, it doesn’t. However, each one of us reacts differently. Just let your doctor know before a planned procedure of your concern. There are alternatives.
Yes it can but is very temporary. Sometimes the doctor can prescribe something to minimize the nausea.
Yes, in some patients it does have side effects. It might be because of the anesthesia components which some times cause blood vessels in the extremities to become dilated, making the person feel flushed. It can also be the result of being under subconscious stress for a prolonged period, before the procedure, during and after.
