Dealing with Dental Anxiety, non sedation Denistry?
Rhys replied to Rhys's topic in Health and Medicine
UPDATE: I had the procedure, Crowns for the two front Incisor. Thursday 14 March... No meds, just tried to accept the discomfort and deal with it the best I could. I Took Tylenol 500mg tab X 1 for a headache... Then listened to music as the DDS and Staff worked on my teeth.. they were caring and explained well. They provided the TLC required and I was relaxed. I tried to read up on all the self-help strategies for Dental Anxiety and that seemed to help. I think the office environment, staffing and the general feeling of the office helped. The office was spacious, with cool color schemes; the procedure room size was big, and overlooked a visually comforting garden with pleasing flowers.. It seemed the staff made the office and procedure as easy as possible. Phew... Cheers mates. -

Dealing with Dental Anxiety, non sedation Denistry?
Rhys replied to Rhys's topic in Health and Medicine
UPDATE and a little confused: Saw the Psych MD... and his recommendation was not what I expected... He proposed a 3-week course of therapy for the panic attack episode.... not the syndrome... He prescribed (Trade names) Prozac, Klonopin, and Xanax... all three highly addictive. His rationale was he was not sure how I would react to a medication the day of the procedure.....well ok... However, in my layman's opinion, I felt all three treated panic attack, and I felt it was an overkill. I was not thrilled about taking those Psych Medications for that long and with those tapering protocols. I just wanted something to calm me the day of the procedure... That is what I thought was acceptable, however, that was not the case in the Psych MDs treatment plan. As a result, I will suck it up at my next DDS appointment for the crown procedure... I am not going to take those meds... -

Thank Peter A.. that is a new one for me. I will ask the DDS about this when I am ready for the procedures. Saw a new DDS and I explained my situation... He seemed to understand. He spoke English ok and was a bit more friendly and showed me the issues on my incisors. I felt a little better about this... I have one more day to decide, however, I am inclined to go with see the Psyc MD for an Rx of anti-anxiety meds (2-3 tabs). Thanks for the suggestions and insights... -

Greetings, especially Sheryl, I seem to have had an acute panic attack when going for a crown on the front incisor. I've checked the www and the BKK Dental hospitals (Very Expensive). What seems to be the best approach to reduce dental anxiety? It has been suggested to see the MD (Psyc) for an Rx of Anxiety medication (Valium) and take this before the procedure. Of course, have someone drive you to the office and back. It has also been suggested for the distraction technique, listening to music or an audiobook. I don't think the imagery and CBT is going to work for me. Are there any options? I know time to buck up... Any suggestions?
