Yes: make sure your dentist knows your medication list, but local anesthesia with a relatively low dose of alprazolam (or even at higher doses) should not be a problem. Good luck with your dental work.

I recently broke a tooth and need a root canal. Im horrible at the dentist though. I have been on Suboxone for 9+years, 1/4 of a strip a day now, which helped me stop drinking. Does Suboxone interfere w/anesthesia, either IV, Nitrous, or Xanax?

Dentist said she would Rx anti-anxiety med for me to take before wisdom teeth appt. Mentioned either Xanax or Valium. I know they're also benzos, but how are they different from Ativan in terms of side effects and likelihood of side effects?
