IV Sedation - help

[Bethan123]

The dentist has advised that I should consider sedation when i have my root canal . I would be grateful of any advice . I’m suffering with anxiety at the moment and the thought of having my mouth wide open and no control is terrifying me . I struggled beginning of the year having a root canal .

Thank you

Hi Bethan123 ,

there are many kinds of sedation out there so a good first step may be to get some information and think of what you'd be comfortable with. Also, this is about how much you trust your dentist.
We have an article that may help with this first step:

Is dental sedation right for me?

What sedation options are available for dental treatment? Which is the right one for me? Find out about oral, inhalation, and IV sedation.
