No, it's a pretty risky thing as far as medical procedures go. It's way up there risk-wise.
So you need to make sure the benefits of undergoing the anesthesia outweigh the risks.

What kind are you talking about? General or local? General is when they "knock you out". That can be risky. Local is like dental shots, there is some issues that can arise, but, for the most part safe.

There is always a risk to everything, but in the hands of a trained professional it's safe.

For what kind of procedure are you talking about? I am sure it is safe administered by a licensed person or they would not be allowed to use it.
Can you expand your question as to the type of procedure you are talking about?http://www.dentalfearcentral.org/iv_sedation.html

Local anesthesia is used literally millions of times for every bad reaction it causes.
General anesthesia is more like 1,000 to 1.
