Easing Anxiety During Your Dental Visits

For many patients, stress and anxiety surrounding dental procedures can prevent them from getting the care they need. Greater Endodontics offers sedation options to keep anxiety at bay at the dentist, so you can get the oral care you need without stress and anxiety. One of the most popular sedation options we offer is the administration of anxiolytic medications. Anxiolytics are a safe and non–invasive way to ease stress or panic during procedures. Read on to learn more about anxiolytics side effects in Riverton!

What are Anxiolytic Drugs? Anxiolytics Side Effects - Riverton

Anxiolytics are a safe and non–invasive medication used to ease stress or panic during dental procedures. Anxiolytics are commonly used to treat anxiety; some people may take them daily. However, anxiolytics can also be taken as a single dose before dental procedures to ease nervousness and put a patient in a calm, relaxed state of mind. Most anxiolytic medications prescribed for oral procedures are benzodiazepines such as Valium (diazepam), Ativan (lorazepam), or Klonopin (clonazepam).

Anxiolytic Medications for Dental Procedures

Procedures such as root canals or other surgeries are often more anxiety–inducing than a regular dental checkup. Giving a single dose of an anxiolytic medication before treatment is one of the easiest and most popular sedation options. This option is typically selected for patients coming in for a shorter visit, such as a cavity filling. However, it can also help ease restlessness for those undergoing a longer procedure. Aside from treating anxiety, anxiolytic medications can also be helpful for patients with an especially sensitive gag reflex.

What to Expect From Anxiolytic Sedation

For a patient undergoing anxiolytic sedation, we typically prescribe a single dose of a medication to be taken approximately one hour before their appointment. Some medications act quickly, so patients may be instructed to wait to take the medication until they arrive at the office.

Patients taking an anxiolytic drug will need to be driven to and from their dental appointment. We also recommend that patients enlist a friend or family member to stay with them for up to four hours at home due to the temporary anxiolytics side effects.

A patient can expect to feel drowsy or relaxed during their appointment after taking an anxiolytic medication. The light sedative effects of the medicine should ease any stress the patient is feeling and make the visit more comfortable overall. Anxiolytics may cause sleepiness, but patients can expect to be fully responsive and conscious during the procedure. Anxiolytics' side effects like tiredness will wear off within several hours after the appointment.

— Liz Mayo, Posted April 4th 2025 on google

I am very happy with the root canal. I have been trying for two years to find a dentist of excellence and I had not found one until I came to Greater Endodontic, I have been to several clinics and I have always left with the anguish and the feeling of being an object that can be taken money with a dental treatment and ...

Such a positive experience having a root canal done! Best endodontist, best assistant, best receptionist!

— Mary Anne Linford, Posted April 3rd 2025 on google

Fantastic staff, great service and ability to be seen urgently on Friday. Thank you!

— talla e., Posted April 3rd 2025 on google

There are two things that stand out to me about my experience with Dr. Casper. The first is that he overcommunicated, which I love. I knew everything he was doing before he did it. That makes what is usually a very anxiety inducing scenario, very comfortable to me! Second, he was so considerate. He was constantly aski...

Amazing office, staff, and doctors! Was able to schedule my appointment and be seen in less than 2 weeks. When my appointment arrived I was nervous about the procedure (no one likes their teeth to be worked on). Kelly was the assistant and she was super friendly and really calming. She listened and when I needed more g...

— Jamie Strong, Posted March 31st 2025 on google

Was referred, as my dentist was booked and going on vacay. Fast turnaround on a root canal. I was in some bad pain and 24 hours later the pain was gone. The paper shuffle prior was a bit intense and took a while to get through it. However, it’s understandable as I was a walk in.

— Chris Van Buskirk, Posted March 31st 2025 on google

Great doctor and staff. Know their stuff and are kind doing it. If your dream is getting a root canal, this is the place for you.

— Gary Arndt, Posted March 30th 2025 on google

It was awesome. I’m an older woman and I appreciate when both of the team let me know what I needed to expect. The time spent was reasonable.

— kaye baldwin, Posted March 29th 2025 on google

I was extremely pleased with the service and care. No one wants a root canal, but Dr. Larsen made it painless and easy. A million thank yous!

— Janna Richens, Posted March 29th 2025 on google

Great staff and service. If you have dental anxiety I recommend their services as the staff were very compassionate and fun. Also, I had laughing gas during my root canal which helped my anxiety so much!

— Lindsay Rasmussen, Posted March 28th 2025 on google

The office staff were very efficient and attentive to my needs. I appreciated doctor Casper and his assistant explaining what was taking place during my procedure. I felt relaxed and confident in his ability of my treatment. Thank you Greater Endodontics for a wonderful experience.

Is Anxiolytic Sedation Right for Me?

As dental sedation specialists, we offer various sedation options for patients who struggle with anxiety during dental appointments. Anxiolytic medications are a safe and appropriate way to provide mild sedation to patients experiencing anxiety during their visits. Still, they're not the best method for everyone. Anxiolytics side effects may differ between patients, so Greater Endodontics offers several different methods of sedation that may be better suited for:

Pregnant patients
Patients who have a complex medical condition or history
Patients on other medication therapies that will adversely react when combined with anxiolytic drugs

Elderly patients
Patients that react adversely to benzodiazepines
Patients with a history of substance abuse concerns

At Greater Endodontics, we understand that the needs of every patient are unique. We work closely with each patient to determine the best route of sedation.
