Is Taking In 2 5mg Pills Before Root Canal Procedure Best Option?
I have an appointment for a root canal at 9:30 in the morning. My endodontist prescribed 2 5mg pills to be taken 1-2 hours before the procedure. I have read elsewhere that it is best to take one pill earlier, and then one pill 1-2 hours before the procedure. What would be best? I have a sever needle and dentist phobia. Also, I read that Valium stays in the system for quite a long time. Will I be able to drive after 24 hours?
