although it’s warranted against, i have a habit of googling when i’m anxious…
that being said, i have to have 3 cavities filled, one is a ‘deep’ one on my rear upper molar and then 2 others on the same quad. i have panic/anxiety disorder as it is apart from the dentist so i’ve opted to take an oral sedation pill. because this is unfamiliar for me, naturally i’m feeling a bit apprehensive of the unknown. i’m not sure which specific script i’ll be given, all i know is i have to take it an hour in advance at the dental office then sit in the waiting room. one of my concerns is having to sit in a room with who knows who while i’m possibly “out of it”, just seems like a strange thing for me to wrap my head around. so i’m wondering if anyone could share similar experiences/success stories of their treatment with oral sedation. i have someone to drive me there and pick me up but i’m not sure they can stay and wait with me. i’m looking forward to putting this behind me and trying to think of the positives as it is an amazing option for someone who is anxious. would really appreciate any positive experiences! thank you.
