Is The Intake Of A 2mg Pill Of Diazepam Good Enough Prior To A Root Canal Procedure?

I'm having a root canal tomorrow & was prescribed 2mg of diazepam. I read that it comes in 2mg, 5mg & 10mg. Is one 2mg pill going to be enough? I seriously don't even want to know that I was even at the dentist! Should I take 2 pills? That would at least make it 4mgs.. Judy

Thanks for using Health Care magic.

Read your query.

Diazepam is usually prescribed before root canal treatment to reduce anxiety during treatment period.
If the dentist has prescribed 2mg ,please continue with same as increase amount may cause you more harm than benefits.

Hope this was helpful.

Thanks and regards.
