Steps to Take Before Receiving Anesthesia

If our doctors at Oral Surgery Consultants of Pennsylvania have reached the conclusion that you need an oral surgery procedure, then it’s important to know what steps to take before arriving at the office. To ensure that everything goes smoothly, there are certain requirements that need to be obeyed by the patient. If you do not comply, we may or may not be able to proceed.


We understand that it’s hard to fast, but you may not eat or drink anything for eight hours prior to the appointment. For your oral surgery procedure, it’s important to have a friend or family member accompany you to your appointment to drive you home, as you may experience some after effects of anesthesia. It is also recommended that you dress comfortably in loose-fitted clothes and low-heeled shoes. For ladies, nail polish shouldn’t be present at the time of surgery and all jewelry will need to be removed.


If you have questions or concerns about oral surgery, please give us a call. To learn more about the services we provide, visit www.oralsurgerypa.com for more information.
