Valium is used for management of anxiety and to provide light sedation and amnesia. This medication will NOT cause your child to be asleep during the dental procedure.
Route & Absorption: administered orally and well-absorbed from the gastro-intestinal tract, the onset of medication occurs within 60-90 minutes of administration. The amount of valium given will be based on your child’s weight.
