Pre-Op IV Sedation Instructions

Below are a few essential instructions and reminders:

You should not drink any alcohol or take any recreational drugs for 24 hours or drink caffeinated beverages for 12 hours before and after your appointment.
You should also not eat or drink anything for 8 hours before, nor should you take any medication not approved by the Doctor before to your appointment.
You should not drink grapefruit juice or eat any grapefruit product for 7 days before your appointment.
There is no chance of pregnancy.
Please make sure there has been no change in my medical history since my sedation consult. • Have your companion bring you to our office on the procedure date.
NO driving yourself! An adult (18 years or older) must escort you into the office and not leave until the patient is assisted by the doctor or office team.
We suggest you wear comfortable clothing e.g., a lightweight jogging suit and do not wear contact lenses during your appointment.
Leave all personal belongings at home (ex: purse, jewelry, watch, etc.) Prestige Dental Specialists is not responsible for lost belongings.

Also, we have found that many patients benefit from natural healing agents that can be purchased at local drug stores.

We recommend beginning this vitamin regimen 1 week before the appointment and continue for at least 2 weeks after the appointment.
