At the very least, you will want to meet your doctor and ask any questions about concerns you may have. You will also want to let them know about your medical history and list of medications.   In addition, you will want to let the oral surgeon or dentist know about your family’s history with wisdom tooth removal or if you have any complications with getting numb for dental treatment or poor outcomes during previous dental extractions.   If you plan on sedation, a driver will be required to transport you on the day of surgery and appropriate accommodations should be made so you can take off the next 24-72 hours depending on how the surgery is projected to go.   Some patients are able to return the next day to work.   However, depending on your experience with other dental work and surgeries in the past, it may be best to take off of work for at least one business day.
