Hi,

Thanks for posting the query,

Valium is used to treat anxiety disorders, musle spasms , siezures.
Take valium exactly as prescribed by your doctor do not take larger or smaller amounts for longer then recommended.
Call the doctor at once if you feel that the medicine is not working or if you think you need to use more dose than usual.
Generally for relief of symptoms of anxiety the recommended dose is 2-10mg , 2-4 times daily.
I would suggest you to concern a doctor before taking the drug.

Hope this helps out.

Regards.....

You shoud get the medication prescribed by your doctor.
Do not take it by yourself.
RCT is not a painful procedure.
Relax yourself and go for treatment

Dear friend.

Thanks for sharing your concern.

Generally root canal treatment is done under the effect of local anesthetic,this is done by injecting anesthetic agent in close proximity to the nerve trunk ,so that it prevents conduction of any pain impulses in that area.

Therefore, in this case you might experience pressure on your teeth but no pain.

Root canal is done in three to four sittings, and each sitting takes around 20 to 25 minutes ,based upon stages of treatment.

Now a days single sitting root canal treatment is also done with painless technique.I would suggest you to go for that.

you will have to look for an endodontist to get this treatment done,painlessly and successfully.

i would also suggest please avoid self medication in any case.

self increase or decrease in drug dosage might put you in trouble,therefore consult your physician before taking it.

Hope it helps.

Thanks

hello
valium /diazepam is usually prescribed to relieve pts of anxity and also used as muscle relaxant and mild pain killer
so what i would suggest is that you take the prescribed amount only that is prescribed by the dentist as overdose may have its own side effects that includes unusual behaviour , agitataion ,hostility etc
so what i would suggest is that dont go beyond 5 mg dose for a root canal treatment
keep calm ,root canal is a simple procedure that will end in no time and with very little pain
best of luck
