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.

Dr. Casper was amazing! They got me in on a short notice for a root canal for a tooth that was causing me severe pain. Dr. Casper was thorough and explained the entire process and was very kind. I left numb, but 4 hours later when the numbing was worn off, I was pain free! I add minimal pain from the injections and 4 d...

4/23/25 I was scared for the procedure. Dr Casper was going to come in on the side of my mouth to remove an infected root that he had already done a root canal on, 2 years ago. They offer free follow ups yearly to make sure things are alright. The shot is probably the worst and I hardly felt them. He was quicker tha...

I had a root canal done a few years ago, which resulted in always having pain and problems with. The dentist that was responsible for the root canal never referred me to a specialist or cared about my situation; telling me that I'd have to live with the pain, as this was normal. A few months ago, the pain became much...

Patients with a history of substance abuse concerns
