Oral Anxiolytics

These medicines, which are in the same class as Valium, are taken prior to your dental treatment. These medicines help to manage mild to moderate levels of anxiety.  Because of the effects of these class of medicines and the expected grogginess afterwards, we require an escort to bring and take you home from your appointment.  You would also need to clear your schedule for the remainder of the day until the effects of the medicine wear off completely.
