The Root of the Issue

If you are facing the possibility of a root canal in the near future, the reputation of this procedure may cause you to anticipate it with much anxiety. However, most people who have had root canals agree that waiting for the procedure and the anticipation is the worst part of the whole experience. If you are anxious about an upcoming root canal or other major dental procedure the Del Mar dental office of Dr. Coleman offers sedation dentistry to help you relax before, during, and after.

While dentists have been numbing pain for years, endodontists who use sedation dentistry are a comparatively recent development. If you experience intense fear at the thought of going to the dentist, particularly for a procedure such as a root canal, Dr. Coleman can offer you conscious or unconscious sedation dentistry. During conscious sedation, you will be awake and able to answer questions, but will remember little or nothing of the procedure afterwards. During unconscious, or sleep dentistry, you will not be aware of the procedure as it takes place.
