Dental by Design

Having dental surgery and will given the drugs versed, fentanyl, and diprivan. What order are they given?

I understand that the diprivan will put me to sleep, but I was not sure what the other drugs did.

1. The versed is an anti-anxiety drug very similar to Valium and is usually given 1st (at least in my office). The fentanyl is a very strong narcotic (pain reliever), about 100 times more potent than morphine. The diprovan is a sedative/hypnotic that can produce euphoria and also helps you to not feel nauseous. All of these drug are short-acting so that you can wake up right after the surgery is done.
