For patients who feel anxious during dental procedures, sedation is an ideal option to help them stay calm and at ease. At Brighton Oral Surgeon, we use the latest technology to ensure both comfort and safety when patients undergo sedation for surgical procedures. Our advanced equipment continuously monitors vital signs like blood pressure, heart rate, and blood oxygen levels throughout the procedure, ensuring immediate safety at all times.

Before Intravenous Anesthesia Sedation

At Brighton Oral Surgeon, we prioritize our patients' health and safety above all else during their dental procedures. To ensure you remain safe and relaxed throughout your appointment, we recommend following these simple guidelines before your visit:

📌No food or drink (including water) for at least 8 hours before your appointment.
📌 Avoid smoking for 12 hours before oral surgery. If possible, try to stop smoking a few days ahead of the procedure.
📌Bring a responsible adult or guardian to your appointment who can stay in the office during your procedure and accompany you home afterward.
📌 Skip excessive makeup or nail polish on the day of your appointment.
📌Remove any contact lenses, jewelry, or dentures before the surgery begins
📌Wear loose fitting clothing with no sleeves, or sleeves that can be rolled up past the elbow
📌Please wear low heeled shoes on the day of your appointment
📌Please notify our office if you have any illness such as a sore throat, a cold, or an upset cold
📌Please check with our oral surgeons before the date of your appointment if take any oral medications
