Hi everyone,
My tooth pain I talked about in my previous post got worse, and I had no choice but to go in for an emergency appointment today for the first time in 7 years. I have an infection, and will need antibiotics and then a root canal (among many other things). I was so anxious beforehand my heart rate went up to 175 and I felt so sick and like I couldn’t do it. But I did! My dentist mentioned speaking to a doctor about getting some medication to ease my anxiety for my root canal. Does anyone have any experience with those types of medication? I’m extremely nervous about taking any medications too, which just complicates this whole thing. If you could share your experiences with a low dose medication for the day of a procedure that would be so helpful!
