How safe is halcion (triazolam) for a dental procedure? i'm nervous already bc of my dental phobia.

Used as directed: This is a very safe way to deal w/ dental procedures and is often used along w/ nitrous oxide (laughing gas). Don't plan to drive or do other tasks and follow directions carefully. But your fears and anxiety should be greatly relieved by this approach. Rest assured! Scroll down to dental section. http://www.sedationdentalcare.net/fp/articles/triazolam.html

Safe: It is safe as long as it is used a directed by a qualified dentist or doctor who has carefully evaluated your specific situation

Halcion: Oral conscious sedation is practiced safely by many dentists using Halcion. My biggest safety concern is that you have someone drive you to and from the dental procedure as you might be too tired to drive safely.
