Instructions before and after dental surgery

Have a substantial breakfast to avoid low blood sugar, or eat a normal lunch, and continue taking your medication as instructed on the prescription. You must not arrive on an empty stomach.

If the dental surgeon prescribed medication at your initial consultation, follow the instructions on the prescription.

Make sure you brush your teeth, gums and tongue thoroughly before dental surgery.

Please arrive 10 to 15 minutes before your appointment so that you can complete the administrative paperwork with our reception team.

You must stop smoking at least 7 days before the procedure. Please note that seven days is the absolute minimum. In some cases, you will need to stop smoking and drinking alcohol several months before the procedure.
