Before Your Appointment

Pre-treatment instructions

  • Get a good night’s rest the night before treatment.
  • Take your usual medications as directed and eat meals as usual. You may want to have a light snack if your appointment time and consequent numbing will interfere with your usual schedule. Do not discontinue any medication without your physician’s advice.
  • If your cardiologist or orthopedist have advised antibiotic premedication prior to dental treatment, be sure to take this medication as prescribed.
  • Bring a current written list of all your medications with dosages including vitamins, herbs, supplements or homeopathic remedies.
  • Bring a parent or guardian to stay for the appointment if you are a minor.
  • Expect relief and plan to return to work or school the same day or the next.
  • Avoid scheduling treatment prior to travel, photographs, or important meetings, if possible. Everyone tolerates treatment differently.
  • Please refrain from wearing perfume, cologne, hairspray or scented deodorants due to staff allergies.
  • Cell phones are not permitted in the treatment areas so please plan accordingly.
