Dentistry Made Comfortable for Everyone
Author: Lynn Fugaro
Seeing your cosmetic dentist regularly is one of the best ways to preserve the health of your teeth and to prevent future, more extensive dental procedures. The thought of going to the dentist creates a great deal of anxiety and even fear in some patients, and many people are so fearful of going to a dentist that they just do not go, which only causes their dental problems to worsen over time.
There is a form of cosmetic dentistry that has made going to the dentist a bearable, if not pleasant experience, for the millions of people who have avoided the dentist for years and years. Sedation dentistry just may be the answer you've been looking for to alleviate the fear and anxiety you experience just thinking about sitting in your dentist's chair.
Sedation dentistry is an excellent solution for patients who suffer from dental anxiety. Sedation dentistry options can make your next dental visit more relaxing, more comfortable and virtually anxiety-free.
Who Could Benefit?
· Patients who fear needles
· Patients who have difficulty becoming numb after Novocaine
· Patients requiring multiple dental procedures
· Patients have had bad past experiences at the dentist
· Patients have a strong gag reflex
How to Sedate
A number of medications can be used to sedate their patients, and many patients assume sedations dentistry means they will be asleep during the procedure. That is usually not the case. Cmmonly used drugs to sedate dental patients are triazolam, diazepam (Valium), lorazepam (Ativan) zaleoplon (Sonata) and hydroxyzine (Vistaril).
These medications have been proven to be safe and effective. Since all of these drugs work in different ways and last for different amounts of time, your cosmetic surgeon will discuss the differences with you and decide which drug is most appropriate for the dental work you are having done that day. Triazolam is the most popular choice because it actually has an amnesiac effect, and patients rarely remember what even happened at their appointment. This drug is especially effective for patients who are afraid of the dentist.
Some of these medications make the patient drowsy enough that he/she will sleep through the procedure. Sometimes the sedative/analgesic is given in pill form and sometimes it is administered intravenously. For obvious reasons, being sedated before dental procedures are not have someone with them to drive them home from the dentist's office.
Sedation dentistry is not for everyone, but for those who have been avoiding getting their teeth fixed due to fear of the dentist, sedation dentistry is the solution they've been looking for.

Anyone know what a blue pill with v on one side and 2531 on the other side is? Valium?
Call the pharmacist, any pharmacist. They will tell you for sure what it is, not what someone thinks it is. It’s better to be safe than sorry.
I have a pill that is blue and says dan dan on it i was told it was a Valium. What is it?
It is methocarbomol. It is generally a central nervous system pill
I have a pill that’s supposed to be valium? It’s small blue with a v on one side and 2684 on the other. Help!
Looked it up but can’t seem to find it
Well………..if you don’t know what it is….then it must not be your medication………so don’t take it!
My friend gave me a pill for a head ache and said it was valium what do they look like? HELP PLEASE?
The pill is round and light blue and very small. The only mark on it is 10 mg on one side and a devide line on the other. No other numbers or letters appear on it. Can anyone tell me what it is?
A ten mg Valium is light blue the generic kind just have a 10 on one side and a little divided line on the other side in case you want to cut it in two. If it were the brand name Valium it would have a “V” cut out in the middle of the drug but no one usually gets the brand name Valium anymore they get the generic. I would say that he did give you a 10 mg diazepam which is the generic drug for a 10 mg Valium.
Want to know if 3297 on little blue pill with 10 on it is a valium?
Sure is: Diazepam (aka Valium), 10 mg. The link will show you a picture of your pill & info about it:
