Pre-Operative Instructions

To help ensure that your procedure at Park Slope Oral Surgery, as well as your recovery, goes smoothly, please follow these guidelines:

• Good oral hygiene is essential for proper healing. Brush and floss your teeth.
• Please be prompt to avoid inconveniencing other patients.
• Prepare for a cool, liquid-to-soft diet for the first 24 hours. This can include ice cream, pudding, Jell-O, yogurt, applesauce, and protein drinks. Ice bags will be necessary for the first 24 hours to help reduce swelling that may occur post-operatively.
• Prior to your surgery, if there are any changes to your medical history, additional medications, or respiratory problems, please call our office!
• Please do not eat within two hours of your surgery appointment if you plan to have nitrous oxide.
