Question

Can i request to be put to sleep during a root canal

Answer 1

If you have not had one before, and had a bad experience, there is really no need.....

Perhaps you are reading too many embellished horror stories here on YA....I can assure you that in the hands of a practiced dentist it is a simple and painless procedure.  

Yes, you can request it, and it will add quite a bit of cost, and additional risk (that is why it is expensive) but today's dentistry is virtually painless.

Answer 2

yes

Answer 3

Yes.  Make sure your dentist has training in dental anesthesia, but he can put you to sleep using IV meds, or nitrous oxide.
