1. Follow Pre-Op Instructions from Your Dentist - Avoid eating or drinking for 6–8 hours before the procedure if you're getting sedation.Inform your dentist about any medications or health conditions.
2. Arrange Transportation - If sedation or general anesthesia is involved, bring someone to drive you home.Don’t plan to drive or operate machinery for 24 hours post-extraction.
3. Plan Your Meals in Advance - Stock up on soft foods like yogurt, mashed potatoes, soups, and smoothies.Avoid hot, spicy, or crunchy foods for a few days after extraction.
4. Practice Good Oral Hygiene (But Gently) - Brush and floss before your appointment, but avoid the extraction site if sore.Don’t use mouthwash with alcohol the night before.
5. Dress Comfortably - Wear loose, comfortable clothing.Avoid wearing makeup, jewelry, or strong fragrances on the day of surgery.
