I already have a prescription that I use as needed. So I am thinking that taking the medication before my appointment is probably a good way for me to chill and get the work done. Two of my crowns need to be replaced and although I don\u2019t anticipate having a whole lot of pain I am still nervous. Is there any problem with taking a Xanax before my appointment? I haven\u2019t found a new dentist. My last dentist was a woman so I am again looking for a female dentist who also does sedation. Interestingly I have found that two of my previous male dentists were not sympathetic to my anxiety. Maybe it\u2019s because I am a guy. Who knows.\u00a0 If Plano wasn\u2019t so far I would try your dentist. I don\u2019t think it will be too hard to find one, though. I am rattling on. Thanks for answering my question about Xanax. \u2013 Gene<\/p>\n<p>Gene \u2013 Before any patient is given sedation dentistry, his or her dentist will carefully review prescription and medical history. Be sure to let your dentist know that you already have a prescription for anti-anxiety medication and let him or know the type of medication. Since your medication that works well for you, it won\u2019t hurt to take it in advance of your dental appointment.<\/p>\n<p>Dental anxiety is common among millions of Americans. It\u2019s good that you are willing to make an adjustment so that your anxiety won\u2019t prevent you from maintaining good oral health.<\/p>\n<p>Many dentists focus on catering to <a href=\"https:\/\/mirandalacydds.com\/sedation-dentist-plano.html\">anxious patients<\/a>. The dentist and staff ensure that you have a good dental experience. Remember that you will need to arrange for transportation to and from your dental appointment.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>This post is sponsored by <a href=\"https:\/\/mirandalacydds.com\/sedation-dentist-plano.html\">Plano, TX dentist<\/a> Dr. Miranda Lacy.
