A member asked:
I recently broke a tooth and need a root canal. im horrible at the dentist though. i have been on suboxone for 9+years, 1/4 of a strip a day now, which helped me stop drinking. does suboxone interfere w/anesthesia, either iv, nitrous, or xanax?

Dental Anesthesia: You should have no issues with local anesthesia, and that's all you probably need for the root canal treatment. Discuss your full medical history with your dentist and s/he will determine how to proceed with your care.
