Pre-Operative Instructions

  1. Consultation and Evaluation: Before your wisdom tooth removal, you will undergo a thorough consultation and evaluation with your oral and maxillofacial surgeon. During this appointment, we will assess your oral health, discuss your medical history, and explain the procedure in detail. This consultation is also an opportunity to ask questions or address concerns.
  2. Medical History Review: It is crucial to provide accurate information about your medical history, including any medications you are currently taking, allergies, and past surgeries. This information will help your oral and maxillofacial surgeon tailor the treatment plan to your specific needs and minimize the risk of complications during the procedure.
  3. Pre-Surgical Instructions:
    • Fasting: Typically, you will be required to fast for at least 8 hours before the procedure. This fasting includes refraining from eating or drinking anything, including water, to prevent anesthesia-related complications.
    • Medication: Follow any medication instructions provided by your oral and maxillofacial surgeon. You may be asked to discontinue certain medications, such as blood thinners, prior to the procedure to reduce the risk of excessive bleeding.
    • Transportation: Arrange for someone to drive you to and from the appointment. Due to the effects of anesthesia, you will be unable to drive yourself home after the procedure.
  4. Comfort Preparations: To ensure your comfort during the recovery period, consider preparing a post-operative care kit ahead of time. This kit may include soft foods, ice packs, pain medication, and gauze pads. These readily available items will help alleviate discomfort and promote a speedy recovery.
  5. Follow-Up Appointment: After your wisdom tooth removal, you will schedule a follow-up appointment with your oral and maxillofacial surgeon to monitor your progress and address any concerns. This is an essential step in ensuring optimal healing and long-term oral health.
