There are a few things patients can do before their procedure. Start out by getting plenty of rest the night before. Eat regular meals (unless you will be on I.V. sedation, in which case we will give you specific instructions). Before coming to our office, you can take a basic over-the-counter pain reliever to manage your existing toothache and to help with post-operation soreness. Come prepared with insurance information. Most of all, try to relax!
