Day of Surgery

DO NOT EAT OR DRINK*
Wear comfortable, loose fitting clothing. Short sleeves are helpful.
Please take any prescribed blood pressure or heart medicines as you normally would with a small sip of water. Diabetic and patients on Coumadin will be given separate instructions.
A responsible adult must accompany you to your appointment and remain in the office with you until you are discharged from our care. We recommend that you have someone stay at home with you for several hours on the first day of surgery.
Please REMOVE contact lenses, dental appliances and jewelry prior to being seated.
Clean your mouth and teeth well prior to surgery. If you have been given Peridex, rinse with it the morning of your surgery. These steps will prevent infections and speed your oral healing.
