Can you ask for sedation for root canal work. Last time I had dental work done I went into shock as my nerve wasn't numbed enough. Now I'm terrified to get a root canal. Can I be sedated for it?

Yes, you can request sedation for a root canal procedure. Many dental practices offer various sedation options, such as nitrous oxide (laughing gas), oral sedation, or IV sedation, to help patients feel more comfortable and relaxed during treatment. It's important to discuss your previous experience and anxiety with your dentist, who can recommend the best sedation method for your needs. Don't hesitate to express your concerns, as they can help ensure a more positive experience.
