    As above, who are the Beyond dentists again? Any of them cool with sedation dentistry or prescribing anxiety meds for procedures?

    You need to try prescription meds... I prefer Ativan and have various doses depending on what I am having done. 2mg of Ativan and I slept through my last root canal (you are awake enough to follow instructions etc... but I dont remember very much of it, and you definitely can't drive, just go home and sleep it off).

    I have ativan but I drove myself that time and couldn't use it, plus I try to avoid taking it as much as I can

    I have diagnosed anxiety so that's why I have it
    It's habit forming and can be highly addictive too so it's fairly controlled

    +1 for Concept Dentistry (Archie).

    However, if you have had issues with past root canals - I would strongly suggest a location that offers lasers instead of drills. I had a bad, bad infection (caused by bruxism, which killed my tooth from the inside out) and even with antibiotics before the chair, plus 100% numbness on pretty much the left side of my face, I was still jumping in the chair and my dentist in Vancouver took out his laser and went to work. No more pain and all I felt was a little warmth from the laser.

    Maybe this is a good place to post this, but what IS laser dentistry?

    Its a small tool, about the size of a drill, thats used to blast away damaged/decayed tooth. Its attached to a large machine with fiber optics.

    Its good at cauterizing in-situ, esp in really sensitive areas, but the tooth still needs to be prepped mechanically for treatment after the laser has been used.

    I know waaaayyy too much about all this as I've had 7 root canals..... and a history of cavities, extractions, braces, etc.

    Fortunately I had most of these issues fixed by my 30s.

    I can chime in here. There are different levels of sedation dentistry. Depending on what level of sedation you require and also what exactly you need done I would be happy to help you. In terms of oral sedation, the most basic kind is using Ativan and it is fairly effective. This would need to be prescribed by the dentist who is performing the work as there are important instructions to follow (ie. no food or drink prior, and definitely no driving). Alternatively if you need a deeper level of sedation (ie. IV Sedation), there are a great couple of dentists that I can recommend you. Depending where you live in the city, we have 13 locations and I can make sure you see the right dentist.

    I seem to manage well with Ativan, all started with some difficulty in getting my lower jaw frozen... I have had to have freezing via stabident a few times. I generally only use the meds when having work done on the lower jaw. So good to know that you are cool with that. What company or practice are you with? Currently right now (that I know of)I have two prior crowns with cavities under them that need replacing, one worse than the other, and one filling that is failing. All upper jaw and crowns have root canals so should be easy on my part.

    I have had both my family DR or my dentist prescribe it in the past. They will only prescribe you a few pills as that is all you need.

    I have this insane phobia and utter terror of dentists. I have literally ripped off the arm covering of a dentists chair during a procedure, and that was while on nitrous.

    I know my teeth are in dire need as it has probably been 25 years since I went to one (if you don't count that tooth extraction), but I am scared shitless. I would literally rather face down anything else than a dentist.

    What's the best option out there for me? I am probably looking at an all day visit to get all my teeth fixed up.

    I have the same problem, can't even get a needle in me. Eventually, after I literally lost several teeth from eating a fucking steak, had no choice and ended up going to Arbour Lake Dental for their sedation method. It ain't cheap though.

    Basically pop a couple of roofies, and you won't remember the last 24 hours. The biggest work I had done, I had 7 root canals, a bridge to fix 4 upper fronts, an implant, and 2 crowns all in 1 shot. Don't remember the procedure at all, last thing I remember was popping the pills in the quiet room, and woke up in my bed at home a day later. Popped Tylenol 3 for 2 days, and fully recovered after that.

    There's a dentist down in Lethbridge who does general anesthetic dentistry. Think it's about 800$ to get fully knocked out.

    I'm not allowed back at arbour lake after getting super combative with the dentist. Sedation works with anxiety not true phobias.
