Post-Operative Instructions of Intravenous Sedation

Please have some fluids e.g. diluted juice (half juice/half water) or 'up and go' available for the car ride home. Most people feel sick due to hunger or dehydration.
MAKE SURE you take your prescribed pain relief and/or antibiotics within 1-2 hours of leaving the surgery (not on an empty stomach).
Please ensure that you EAT ENOUGH FOOD the day of, and after the surgery. It is NOT enough to just drink water and juice; this will increase the chance of feeling sick after the procedure.
Begin your salt rinsing the next day. You may be unable to open your mouth or brush your teeth for 3-4 days if the swelling is excessive.
The sedation works on your brain, and you may not fully be aware until its effects have worn off. You should NOT do any responsible activities. This is for your safety. The effects of the drug take 2 to 4 hours to disappear, so it is suggested that you have a responsible adult present with you after the sedation. Some examples of things YOU SHOULD AVOID for the next 2 days are:
- Driving a car or operating machinery.
- Drinking any alcohol.
- Participating in sports.
- Making important decisions (e.g. internet banking).
