Dental procedures Questions on treatment?
These procedures are fine with a local anesthetic. You shouldn't have much pain afterwards. I've had four root canals, and they're the most uncomfortable. Getting a crown is nothing (I have eight).
Reply:There are dental clinics that are willing to "knock you out" for just about any procedure. It comes at a high price though. I cannot stand the dentist and I am IV sedated for any major procedures...you're not asleep but believe me you don't know anything happening around you. You could always get the gas, that works too. Hunt around for a dentist that suits your needs.
Reply:if you are asking about a root canal, don't worry. They will have to give you novacaine to numb the area, all they do is get the dead root out of your tooth. The great thing about this is it saves your natural tooth. They will go in your tooth and again it will be NUMB and then they will put something in there to keep it in place. I just remember it looked rubbery when I had mine done. The root canal I had lasted 8 years. Other than the needle pinching, I swear it does not hurt a bit !
Reply:You can find an endodonist that will give you sedation. Some people have sedation for cleaning, it's better than not going just because you have a fear of dental procedures. It's done all the time and believe me, no practioner is going to lose business because he says his procedures are painless. The best way to lose a patient is to promise them that it isn't going to hurt, and then hurt them and say, " Oh, would you like some sedation?" Shop around. Some people are more sensitive and anxious than others and a real professional realizes this.
Reply:The numbers 8 and 9 are the two front teeth and it sounds like they are going to do a root canal on tooth # 7 which is your right tooth next to your two front teeth and they are going to put a crown on it. hope this helps
Reply:Did your dentist not refer you to a specific endodontist? Usually you are given several names to chose from. Root canal treatment is not painful. It does take a little time. You might have a consult appointment to discuss some sort of pre-medication to calm you.


Since this is your two front teeth, you definitely need to do this.
