Understanding Sleep During Root Canal Procedures

It is unlikely that a normal person would be able to fall asleep during a root canal. Root canals are dental procedures performed to treat severe tooth decay or infection. They can be quite uncomfortable and painful, and require the use of local anesthesia to numb the area being treated. Even with the use of local anesthesia, most people still feel some discomfort during a root canal, making it unlikely that they would be able to fall asleep.
