I will have a root canal. Do you need anesthesia for a root canal?
5 Answers
For the comfort of patient, most patient typically only need local anesthetics. If a patient is extremely apprehensive, in this case sometime He / She may need to go under conscious sedation. The only time that a patient does not need local anesthesia for a root canal procedure is that if the tooth is diagnosed with Necrotic pulp ( the nerve is completely dead, no response to temperature, to electric pulp testing, and the tooth involved is asymptomatic ).
Definitely
Likely yes. Your nerve in the tooth is where the pain is felt. A root canal therapy procedure means you'll have the nerve taken out with dental instruments. If you would like a follow-up to your question or concern, we would love to see you! If you are in the area, please give us a call to schedule an appointment.

Yes, even if the pulp is necrotic, you will be much more comfortable with anesthesia.
It is highly recommended to have local anesthesia for a root canal.
