(Asked about this in general questions and they said I should try over here)
I have a pretty severe panic disorder. I can keep it under control most of the time, but I get very panicky having to sit confined in a dentists chair. I do fine for small things like x-rays and fillings - but now I need more extensive work (root canals and extractions).
I have an intense fear of throwing up and/or passing out. I had a very bad experience with N2O and don't want to be given the gas again.
I am considering asking my dentist to use oral sedation for the upcoming work.
But I'm afraid the medicine will make me pass out or throw up. Is this very likely to happen?
I would love to hear some other people's experiences with the oral sedatives. What does it feel like taking effect? How do you feel when you start coming out of it? Do I have to worry about eating or not eating beforehand? Thank you so much.
