Having an extreme phobia of dentists, I was more than a little doubtful when I went to a dentist (he specializes in treating cowards), who assured me he could not only get me into his chair comfortably, but that I would be kept comfortable while I was there. He gives me a
Valium tablet to take 30 minutes before my appointment. It works; I am able to get the much-needed dental work I avoided because my fear was overwhelming.
The rest of the day is gone…it makes me very sleepy. Also, I have to arrange for someone to take me and pick me up, as I am in no condition to drive. A positive side effect of Valium medication is I now have healthy teeth!
