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.

Who wants a root canal... and I had had a tough experience with one a number of years ago. I swore I'd have a tooth pulled before I subjected myself to that pain again. Fortunately, Dr. Brimley came very highly recommended so I have him a shot at this. Imagine absolutely no pain... like none! I can't him highly...

Staff and Dr. Casper were super good. They made me feel relaxed. It was a good experience

— Brenda M, Posted June 13th 2025 on google

I have complicated teeth and get a bit nervous. Everyone here was awesome. On the first phone call, the front desk matched me with an endodontist on the staff who would be a good fit for my nerves; able to listen to my concerns and take time to explain things. Dr. Casper was fantastic! He went through everything and ...

— Amber Rich, Posted June 7th 2025 on google

I had to have a root canal fixed a couple years ago, and was extremely nervous. I have tricky lateral canals which is why I had to go to a specialist. Everyone there was really helpful and listened to my needs. When I needed another root canal done this year and had to go to a specialist again, I knew exactly where I w...

Dr. Larson, Kaycee, and Kim were all great (and very patient). Thank you!

— Bevan Wasden, Posted June 2nd 2025 on google

Dr. Brimley and the staff were very accommodating and pleasant. They were able to schedule me in quickly to redo a root canal that was done long ago in another state and had become infected and was causing me pain. My pain and infection are gone and I am grateful for their expert work.

awesome dental office and staff

— Robert Guild, Posted May 22nd 2025 on google

Dr Rhett was very Careful to make sure that I wasn’t experiencing much pain. Very grateful for the fantastic service!

Modern technology and great office

— Royce Webb, Posted May 21st 2025 on google

Dr. Brimley and his staff are very professional and as always no pain, and it was a root canal!

— Sharon Garcia, Posted May 20th 2025 on google

Friendly staff....Worked dirrectly with my insurance.... Dr Brimely was very thorough and walked me threw the whole procedure ...I would recommend for endodonic treatments

— Cameron Smith, Posted May 20th 2025 on google

Great service fast and a comfortable as one can expect

— Cameron Corless (Aviation Enthusiast), Posted May 20th 2025 on google

Very friendly and considerate, even during a difficult procedure.

— Jeff Rowley, Posted May 17th 2025 on google

I won't say that a root canal is fun because that would be a flat out lie. I can say in all honesty, if I am in need of another root canal this is where I will go. They made an unpleasant experience okay. They were kind and explained everything well and play music from my era for me.

— Joan Petersen Rond, Posted May 17th 2025 on google

The staff was great and Dr.Brimly was delightful. Highly recommend them.

— barbara hintze, Posted May 9th 2025 on google

Painless process. However post op pain was more significant than Tylenol and advil could cover.

— Megan Anderson, Posted May 9th 2025 on google

It was perfect!!

— Eduardo Ferreira, Posted May 8th 2025 on google

Super friendly and very professional. Would highly recommend them.

— Jolene Berrett, Posted May 6th 2025 on google

Excellent customer service. Had a root canal and the team made sure I was properly informed about insurance costs and was comfortable during the entire procedure. While I hope not to return 😂, I would opt to have more work completed here if needed.

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. If you are interested in treatment options to make your appointments more comfortable, we will work with you to determine if an anxiolytic medication is right for you.
