Is It Safe To Give Xanax For My Son Before Going To The Orthodontist?
I am taking my 7 year old son that weighs 40lbs to the orthodontist today for spacers. We had these done a few weeks ago and he flipped out and was very combative because he was scared so we couldn't finish the treatment. I take Xanax on occasion for anxiety and I was told it would be okay to give .25mg to him 30 min before we go in. I am very nervous about giving this to him. Is it safe????
Hi Welcome to HCM I personally will not advice you for this medicine because its an alprazolam and your kid is too small for this. Try to convince your child and explain nothing will happen or hurt with space maker in mouth. Or ask some pedodontics, an dentist to convenience your child. Thank you
