How much diazepam should I take before my appointment?

I have a dentist appointment on Thursday for the first time in 10 years and I'm terrified about going, I'm sure I'm going to need some fillings and I've never had any before so I don't know what to expect. I know the first appointment is only going to be a check up, but I'm so scared that I'll just freeze and not be able to let him look in my mouth.

I have some diazepam left over from a back injury last month and I know you can take it before dental appointments to reduce anxiety, but I was wondering what dose I should take? I have 5mg tablets.

Well when I took it for my back injury I was taking 5mg three times a day and it didn't make me drowsy. And I am certainly not a habitual drug user, and certainly not a high risk of infection!!!

As long as you are absolutely certain that you won't be sedated or have any procedures performed on you aside from a standard cleaning, you can safely take half a tablet. ONLY HALF Make sure to take it on a full stomach.
