You should not eat for up to six hours before your procedure. This helps ensure that the sedative takes full effect and that you don’t suffer from nausea during treatment.
Drinking clear liquids for hydration is acceptable, but should be stopped two hours before your procedure begins.
Depending on the dental treatment you receive, you may need to avoid certain foods for a period after your procedure. Your dentist will give you any necessary dietary guidelines to follow after you leave our office.
