Which of valium or Ativan would be the best sedation during treatment?

Q.
Would valium or Ativan be the best oral sedation for a patient not wanting IV sedation,and what are the effects?
Thankyou.
A.
Best to decide with your dentist as the speed of action and duration differ. The tablets you take and the planned procedure will effect the choice. Valium is more commonly used.
