Will Valium Taken Half Hour Before Seeing Dentist Take Effect?
Good evening. I am going to the dentist in the morning and I am a dental coward :( I have to drive myself, so I plan to arrive a half-hour early and take a valium when I get there. Is that enough time for it to take effect? If it is not working, can I take a second one?
The other question is, I will them have to drive myself to work afterwards. How long do I have to wait after taking it to be able to drive safely?
Hi, as you say, if you have to drive and work, after manipulation, you better avoid the second dose, You will be given local anaesthesia, so you wont find any pain, during or after the process. It will work atleast for few hours, so you can safely go to driving and to the work. Thank you.
