You have to talk to your dentist

  • Charleston, West Virginia

Usually local anesthesia, an injection near the tooth.

Your dentist will give you a good nerve block.

  • Anesthesiologist
  • Woodstock, Ontario

Local anesthetic administered by the dentist doing the root canal. Sometimes they give a little sedative such as lorazepam.
