What is the Sleep Endodontics;

Sleep Endodontics is an innovative concept created to meet the needs of thousands of pediatric and adult patients in Greece, providing specialized endodontic treatment (root canal therapy) using dental microscopy and sedation methods such as general anesthesia or patient sedation. Patients can undergo their endodontic treatment entirely painlessly in a controlled state of complete relaxation, free from any anxiety during the procedure and without any discomfort. In addition to its calming and analgesic effects, sleep endodontics allows even the most complex endodontic treatments or surgical interventions to be completed in one session for the patient.

 Endodontist Dr. Nestor Tzimoulias collaborates with various private clinics equipped with surgical operating microscopes, and together with the specialized team of anesthesiologists, they can offer patients different methods of conscious sedation, including the use of nitrous oxide. In more specific cases requiring a higher level of sedation, intravenous general anesthesia is administered.
