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.

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!

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.

If you find yourself in need of an Endodontist this is the place to go! Dr. Brimley and his staff not only do EXCELLENT work but are also kind humans. I had some pretty extensive work done here and I was treated with the upmost respect and empathy. I HIGHLY recommend this office and I’m so grateful to everyone there,...

Very pleasant people, receptionist called me by name when I walked in for second visit. Dr Larson was very thorough and told me everything that was happening

— Lee Wirthlin, Posted March 27th 2025 on google

Dr. Brimley performed quality work when redoing a root canal (done by another endodontist) that had gotten infected. He is very meticulous about cleaning the root area, disinfecting it, and sealing it. I hope this root canal will last - time will tell. He also has very friendly office staff and competent assistants.

In and out quickly, very good service and kind people to work with

— Brndl Brndl, Posted December 31st 2024 on google

I had a root canal on a back molar. I came in having pain in another tooth. I was impressed that Dr. Casper could find the exact tooth causing the pain. I felt very confident in Dr. Casper. He included me in the details of the procedure. No pain during the procedure. It was very reassuring. Evelyn, his assistant, was ...

— Betty Lords, Posted March 21st 2025 on google

Dr. Rhett Casper is amazing. He found what no other dentist has found. They missed one of the roots when they did a root canal procedure. That saved me 5k in implant and bone graph procedures. Definitely worth me getting a second opinion here.

— Brian Thomas, Posted March 21st 2025 on google

Had a root canal procedure done yesterday by Dr Brimley. It was so slick and easy. I appreciated his humming, knowing he was relaxed and comfortable. He put the shot in so slow I didn’t feel anything. I’ll definitely be referring people to him. The rest of the office was also so nice and made sure I was comfortable...

— Kristen Comarell, Posted March 13th 2025 on google

I was treated very well, made comfortable in an uncomfortable situation. Everyone was kind and professional. I was scheduled for a later date but got on the cancellation list and was able to get the procedure done a week early. Dr. Brinkley knows his stuff!!! Thank you for making this difficult time much more enjoya...

— Cathy Hoesch, Posted March 12th 2025 on google

I saw Dr. Larsen for a surgical procedure. He was so awesome! After the numbing I didn’t feel a thing. I can’t wait to see the end result. Big, big + is the infection will finally clear up. Thank you Dr. Larsen! See you Monday for stitches removal.

— Jodie Wines, Posted March 12th 2025 on google

Dr. Casper was absolutely amazing!

— Emina, Posted March 9th 2025 on google

First root canal. It's never a pleasant experience when someone has hands and sharp tools in your mouth. I have to say, this was the best dental experience I have ever had. They made it as painless and stress-free as possible.

— Russ Fellows, Posted March 9th 2025 on google

Hands down the best in town! Great attention to detail and you can count on getting an A+ experience and expertise. Thank you!

— Bill Rogers, Posted February 28th 2025 on google

Highly recommend!’

— Henry Rudolph, Posted February 27th 2025 on google

I have had three root canals done here by Doctor Casper. Their financial people explained the bill with transparency. Each experience was quick and efficient, and Doctor Casper answered my questions with compassion. Can't recommend this place enough.

— Paden Carter, Posted February 27th 2025 on google

Exemplary! That is an understatement! I have never, in my long life had a better major Dental experience ever! Thank You to Doctor Brimley and staff!
