Do you do use Nitrous Oxide (laughing gas)?
Yes, all of our rooms are equipped with nitrous oxide. If you are nervous about the procedure please let us know so that we can take the necessary steps keep you comfortable.
Occasionally oral medications may be required to properly manage severe anxiety.
Will the treatment be painful?
We will take every measure to ensure that your procedure is in no way uncomfortable or painful. If treatment is needed, we will inject a small amount of anesthesia to gently numb a concentrated area of your mouth. For most patients, the feeling of numbness usually subsides after 2-3 hours.
Will I need to return to your office for follow-ups after the procedure is finished?
Yes, for most root canal treatments, we recommend that patients return to the office 1 year after the procedure was finished. Our office will send a reminder notice to you when you are due for a recall appointment.
