Should someone come with me?
For all General Anesthetic and IV sedation appointments, you must make arrangements for a responsible adult to bring you to your appointment and take you home after treatment. You will not be allowed to drive yourself or go home alone in a taxi because you are legally impaired for 24 hours. It is strongly suggested you have a responsible adult stay with you for the first 24 hours. These instructions are important for your safety. If you do not have a ride home, we will have to cancel your appointment.
How long should I stop eating before my appointment?
You must stop eating at midnight the night before your General Anesthetic or IV sedation appointment.
Should I take my usual medications?
Some medications should be taken and some should not. Please contact our office as everybody’s preoperative medical has been reviewed by our anesthetist and we can guide you with this step.
What will happen before my surgery appointment?
You will meet our anesthetist on day of surgery. He will review your medical history with you and answer any questions you may have. You will then discuss your treatment with the dentist. Monitoring devices will be attached such as blood pressure cuff, EKG, and other devices for your safety. If at all possible, please wear loose comfortable clothing and stable footwear.
What can I expect when I wake up?
After you wake up, you will continue to be monitored closely by the anesthetist and our team of Registered Nurses, who will keep you comfortable. After a short period of time, the nurses will review discharge instructions with you and your ride and prepare you to go home. You may leave only after the anesthetist indicates it is safe.
What can I expect after my surgery?
In most cases, the recovery period lasts only a few days. Take painkillers as prescribed by your dentist. The following tips will help speed your recovery:If you are bleeding, apply firm biting pressure to gauge pads placed over the extraction sites for 45 minutes at a time until bleeding has stopped.While your mouth is numb, be careful not to bite the inside of your cheek or lip, or your tongue.Do not lie flat. This may prolong bleeding. Prop up your head with pillows. Try using an ice pack on the outside of your cheek for the first 24 hours. Apply the ice pack in 20 minute intervals (20 minutes on, 20 minutes off).Relax after surgery. Physical activity may increase bleeding.
