Has anyone taken Triazolam (Halcion) for a dental procedure? If so, can you tell me about your experience with it?
I am having a crown replaced tomorrow that was just put on in November. It never fit right so is being replaced. My tooth was incredibly sensitive plus it took 4 shots to numb me. Even during the procedure, I would still sometimes feel sensitivity, and I was gripping the arms of the chair so hard that my knuckles were white. lol When I found out that it was going to have to be replaced, I told my dentist that he was going to have to put me out, because I couldn't take the sensitivity issue again. (As a side note, I have gone to this dentist for 20 years and never had issues before, and I've had other crowns, an implant, fillings, etc.--it's just this one tooth with sensitivity.)
So I am taking one .25mg Triazolam tonight before bed and two an hour before my procedure tomorrow. In addition, I am to take the extra two pills with me to the appointment just in case, and I am also having the gas. Will I be so out of it by the time I get there that I'll just sit happily in the chair while the shots take effect, or will I be awake enough and able to focus that I should take a book to read, or ??? Just wondering what to expect. My husband is taking me and picking me up and is staying with me all day.
Maybe I am missing something here, but I don't understand why there was ANY sensitivity .... wasn't a root canal done first?

@Tinkrbl44 You don't have to have a root canal for a crown to replace a cracked tooth.
