Eat before an extraction!

Some patients choose not to eat anything before having a dental extraction. This can sometimes result in patients feeling lightheaded in the surgery, and occasionally fainting. Its always best to eat something which is nutrient dense before an extraction. If a patient is unable to eat, at least ingest a drink that contains sugar such as a sweetened cordial. This will ensure blood sugar levels will not fall too low during a procedure so we can avoid this sort of complication.

If you have any other questions regarding your next procedure you can call our Morwell dental practice on (03) 5134 1311.
