1. Understand the Procedure - Consult your dentist/oral surgeon: They’ll explain if it's a simple or surgical extraction and whether local or general anaesthesia will be used. Review X-rays: This helps determine if the teeth are impacted or growing sideways.
2. Arrange Transportation - If you're undergoing sedation or general anaesthesia, you'll need someone to drive you home afterward. Ideally, have someone stay with you for a few hours post-surgery.
3. Plan Your Time Off - Take at least 2–3 days off from school or work. Some people may need up to a week depending on healing and the complexity of the extraction.
4. Stock Up on Soft Foods - Prepare these in advance: Soups (cooled), Mashed potatoes, Yogurt, Smoothies (no straws!), Applesauce, Ice cream or cold jelly. Avoid hard, chewy, spicy, or hot foods for several days.
5. Follow Fasting Guidelines - If sedation is planned, avoid food or drink for 6–8 hours before the surgery. Confirm this with your oral surgeon beforehand.
6. Wear Comfortable Clothing - Dress in loose, comfy clothes. Avoid wearing makeup, lipstick, or nail polish (especially under general anaesthesia).
Save your oral surgeon's contact info in case of emergency or post-op complications.
