Hi,
I am looking for medication insight. I have extreme dental anxiety. When I was young I had a filling and told the dentist to stop. He didn’t listen to me and I threw up white that dental dam plastic crap was in my mouth. Now I am getting lots of work done as I avoided the dentist. I got through the cleaning and did a root canal. For the root canal they gave me lorazepam, which did not work! I cried the entire time, hyperventilating for more than an hour. The 1 hour appointment lasted almost 3 hours!!! This Friday I have to get the crown put on and they want to do some fillings at the same time. They originally told me we will do if sedation so all my worries went out the window. But this afternoon they told me that they can’t as I don’t qualify cause I am overweight. I am now petrified. They said I can take oxazepam but everything I am reading online says this is not as strong. I don’t feel like I can do this without being put under. I want to be strong but my anxiety is so bad. My husband is very supportive and said we can look for dentists that will do iv but I know they will all say no due to me being overweight.
What medications worked for you? I have allergies to all cilins and appointment is 4 hours long! Please help!!!
