> I need to have a root canal and a crown on a back molar. The dentist claims he can do the whole thing in 2 hours! He insists I be knocked out on Antivan since I am obviously a "crazy" and will give me ephenephrine even though it makes my heart race and blood pressure soar. I already take BP meds.

Getting a second opinion on any procedure is a fine idea!! Most general dentists refer their patients to endodontists these days (EVERYTHING seems to be specialised). I'm surprised your dentist would be doing his/her own root canals. If you're not in pain with your tooth, by all means look for someone else who would be more sensitive to your medical history and emotional requirements.
p.s. I am a total panicky, frightened wuss in the dental chair and premedicate with .5mg of xanax. Many others do, too.
