I am taking my 7 year old son that weighs 40lbs to the orthodontist today for spacers. We had these done a few weeks ago and he flipped out and was very combative because he was scared so we couldnt finish the treatment. I take Xanax on occasion for anxiety and  I was told it would be okay to give .25mg to him 30 min before we go in. I am very nervous about giving this to him. Is it safe????
Hi Welcome to Chat Doctor I personally will not advise you for this medicine because it's an alprazolam and your kid is too small for this. Try to convince your child and explain nothing will happen or hurt with space maker in mouth. Or ask some periodontics, a dentist to convenience your child. Thank you
