A member asked:

Which will keep me calmer while getting a crown -valium or ativan (lorazepam)? i got extremely anxious during a previous crown procedure.

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Same type: Both of these medicines are in the same class, and appropriately dosed they should give you a similar level of sedation; however valium will last longer in your system.
