LET'S TALK ABOUT YOUR COMFORT
Your health guides the choice
Medical history, medications, the proposed procedure, and the level of sedation all matter. The practice's patient information describes oral and intravenous sedation. Your clinician will explain the expected effects, risks, and preparation.
Preparation is personal
Eating and drinking restrictions, medication instructions, transportation, and recovery arrangements depend on the anesthesia plan. Obtain the office's current written instructions and clarify anything uncertain before the appointment.
Tell the team about medicines, supplements, allergies, and previous anesthesia experiences. Follow the instructions given directly to you. Find preparation and recovery resources.

Can I drive after sedation?
Sedative medicines can make driving unsafe. Arrange transportation and supervision exactly as directed by the surgical team.
Should I stop my regular medicines?
Ask your surgical team for instructions. Do not change prescribed medication based on general website information.
General patient education. Your treatment plan requires an individual evaluation.
