Yes. Thats why you should never do it unless your dentist Ok's it or even prescribes it him/herself.

they gave me IV valium when I had my wisdom teeth removed, they were impacted though.
Lot's of ppl experience anxiety at baseline and experience/anticipate experiencing anxiety in situations where they are lacking control (dentist), where they will likely experience pain (dentist), and for the lucky one's who were sexually abused....where someone or more than one someone will be probing an orifice (dentist).
Dentist might not be willing to prescribe but a PCP might be willing to prescribe a benzo as a prn (like 2 pills to be taken before dentist appt) if you explain your particulars to him/her. Dr's do it for people flying, they most def will do it when doing operations on me, even minor 'painless' one's if I require it as a prerequisite to consenting and explain why I need it.
Ironically I have a very high tolerance to pain, with me it comes down to the control issue. I used to disassociate as a coping mechanism when I was a child/teenager. I bet I could still put myself in a place mentally where I could chop off my own finger while staring you coldly in the eye and not even friggin flintch.
But tell me you intend to strap me down to some table and start doing something to me with a bunch of people standing around and I'm either getting some meds, I'm walking out, or some shit is gonna happen that ain't gonna be good for no one if I'm not allowed to just leave. I've given myself stiches. I've pulled a piece of broken glass out my back that was in 6in deep (kinda like in and down, in arond the waiste and down the backside to the bone but like down my ass but way in there, not in my ass, it was in my back behind where my ass is located lol) and taken myslef to the hospital where the whole ER (including the receptionists freaked the f out when they seen me hobble/limp in holding a blood soaked towel against my back and telling them I had a bad gash) and as they were all dropping what htey were doing and clammoring around me to get me on a gurney, etc were telling me I was in a 'call 911' situationk. As long as I"M in control it's cool.
If someone takes control I experience lots of anxiety, like a dentist office. I've gotten better over the years and don't need anxiety meds for that, but I do need them to simply funtion on a daily basis. So get your anxiety meds for your dentist appt, just make sure the dentist knows it b/c of potential drug interactions.

You should be careful taking benzos for the dentist. ALOT of dentist hear you say "oh I took xanax before I got here" they think "Drugaddict". I remember one dentist I went to to get my wisdom tooth removed. I asked for 4mg's of xanax from them instead of...ya know...being shot up with ketamine and dialudid...they fucking cancelled my appointment and wrote "drug seeking behavior". Kind of ironic.
DooMMooD

I took about 1mg of xanax before my wisdom tooth extraction.
They then gave me IV midazolam and nitrous.
I was INCREDIBLY FUCKED UP. One of the highest I've ever been in my life (it is also the start of my opiate addiction, 60 vikes post surgery, but thats another story). Normally the whole point of giving you that many benzos is that you essentially 'black out' of the procedure; that is to say, youre conscious during, can answer questions, respond and do things, etc but afterwards you have no memory. And you'd think adding a mg of alprazolam would definitely make you black out, well that wasn't the case for me. I remember almost my entire wisdom teeth extraction, and it was pretty FUN! I was so high I was laughing the ENTIRE PROCEDURE, and the oral surgeon started laughing too a few times, hard enough were he had to stop!
Funny experience. He said i was the funniest patient hes ever had lol.
Dont let the one person scare you about not being able to resuscitate you, theyre benzos in a medical setting, they can easily dial it down if they see youre reacting poorly and in a dental setting they gague it slowly enough where theyre gonna know that youre good and not keep giving you such a large dose of benzos that you stop breathing.
Just my .02 cents. Ahh memories. I guess if youre used to getting fucked up like I am maybe you'll have fun too! And do what i did, when they put that nitrous mask on you take some HUGE BREATHES! They handed me the mask said breathe in and i hit that bitch like it owed me money. Get as much nitrous legally as you can! Lol!
Just don't get addicted to opiates this way...

You asked a dentist to give you 4mg of Xanax to take all at once? LOL
