The best alternative for elderly patients is short-acting benzodiazepines, such as lorazepam, which can be given as a pre-anesthetic medication in a single dose of 1 mg or 2 mg, 2 hours before the intervention. For schoolchildren, diazepam is of great value because of its specific anxiolytic properties. The dose of 0.15 to 0.3 mg/kg body weight orally is sufficient for most patients, the effects being observed after 45 to 60 minutes of drug ingestion. In case of very anxious patients, take the tranquilizer, if diazepam orbromazepam, in a single dose, 1 hour before oral treatment, or, iflorazepam, 2 hours before the consultation; if the patient is very nervous, it is also advisable to take a tablet the day before treatment, preferably at bedtime
