You made me laugh! It's never a good time for the dentist or for getting sick... And if you had some spare time, the dentist would not be your choice, anyway.

Tooth ache is one of the worst pains. I am guessing you will get a crown, as fillings in back teeth seem to be 'out of fashion' these days, so to speak.

If a root canal is necessary, sedation is not, though. Why go there, unless you have some major phobia? A dentist won't have an anesthesiologist on call, so I'd view that as too risky. I have been unfortunate enough to have 3 root canals. Not particularly pleasant (your mouth is open for a loooong time), but I would not go for sedation except in a hospital. Take some music or podcasts instead.
