Oral Surgeons in Denver, NC

To prepare for wisdom teeth removal, follow all pre-operative instructions provided by your oral surgeon. If you’re receiving sedation, you may be asked to fast for several hours before your procedure. Arrange for someone to drive you home afterward, and plan to rest for at least 1 to 2 days. On the day of surgery, wear comfortable clothing and avoid wearing makeup, jewelry, or contact lenses. Beforehand, stock up on soft foods, ice packs, gauze, and any prescribed medications to ensure you’re prepared for recovery at home.
