I also take an anti-depressant. The thought of needing 2 root canals is making me very nervous. My concern is that the medication I\u2019m already taking will cancel out the sedation drugs. I\u2019m also concerned about interactions. Each day my teeth are really getting uncomfortable so I know I\u2019m going to have to act soon. If I can\u2019t get sedation I\u2019m not sure I could make it through the appointment. What would a dentist do in my case? Thanks. Rody<\/p>\n<p>Rody &#8211; The medication a dentist selects for <a href=\"https:\/\/mirandalacydds.com\/sedation-dentist-plano.html\">sedation during dental treatment<\/a> is based on several factors, including:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>His or her treatment philosophy<\/li>\n<li>Experience using the drug<\/li>\n<li>A patient\u2019s medical history<\/li>\n<li>The dental procedure<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Sedation dentists who regularly treat anxious patients know how to assist those who have general anxiety and already take some form of anti-anxiety medication.<\/p>\n<p>Remember to provide your dentist with a complete list of your medications, the dosage, and how often you take them. The information you provide will prevent negative drug interactions. It will also help the dentist determine which anti-anxiety medication to use. There are a variety of options to help you relax during dental treatment.<\/p>\n<p>You can also contact the dental office and ask if you can fax or e-mail the list of your medications before your consultation. It will give the dentist time to review it and provide you with an idea of which medications can be used during dental treatment.<\/p>\n<p>Whenever necessary, your dentist will be willing to work with your primary care doctor and your pharmacist to select sedation medication that will be effective during your dental procedure.<\/p>\n<p>This post is sponsored by <a href=\"https:\/\/mirandalacydds.com\/\">Plano female dentist<\/a> Dr. Miranda Lacy.
