Process

Our Root Canal Sedation Process

1. Initial Consultation

Your journey begins with an initial consultation at Sleep Dentistry Brisbane. Our experienced dentists will assess your dental health, anxiety levels, and medical history to determine the most appropriate sedation method for your root canal treatment.

2. Pre-Procedure Preparation

Based on your chosen sedation type, we provide detailed instructions to prepare for your procedure. For example, IV sedation and general anaesthesia may require you to avoid eating or drinking up to six hours before your appointment. We will guide you through any necessary medication adjustments to ensure a smooth and safe procedure.

3. Sedation Administration

On the day of your procedure, our professional team will administer the selected sedative in a safe and controlled manner. We prioritise your comfort and safety, ensuring you are well-informed and at ease throughout the process.

4. During the Procedure

Your safety is our top priority. During the root canal treatment, we continuously monitor your vital signs, including heart rate, blood pressure, oxygen levels, and breathing patterns, especially when using moderate to deep sedation like general anaesthesia.

5. Post-Procedure Recovery

After the procedure, you will relax in our comfortable recovery area until the sedative effects wear off. Recovery time varies depending on the sedation type used—nitrous oxide effects fade within minutes, while IV sedation may take a few hours to fully dissipate.

6. Dental Professional Follow-Up

Our commitment to your care continues after you leave our clinic. We provide comprehensive aftercare instructions to promote healing and minimise discomfort, including pain management tips, dietary recommendations, and oral hygiene guidelines. We also encourage you to schedule a follow-up appointment to ensure your recovery is progressing smoothly.

Frequently Asked Questions

 

Is it okay to fall asleep during a root canal procedure?

Yes, it’s perfectly fine to fall asleep during a root canal procedure, especially if you are under moderate sedation. Most patients remain semi-conscious with conscious sedation or local anaesthesia, ensuring a comfortable experience without full unconsciousness. For those with severe dental phobia, deeper sedation methods may be used to enhance comfort.

Do you need a crown after a root canal?

Yes, typically a crown is recommended after a root canal to restore the tooth’s strength and functionality. Our dentists will discuss the best options for your specific case during your treatment planning.
