Accepted Answer

If sedation is part of your treatment, fasting for several hours may be required. Your care team will give you exact instructions ahead of time to keep your procedure safe.

Question 4

Are oral surgery procedures painful?

Will insurance cover oral surgery?

Patients should avoid smoking, alcohol and using straws for several days. Hard or crunchy foods should be skipped until the area has healed. Your care team will give specific guidance based on your procedure.
