There are two things that you must do the day before and the day of the operation. One is you can’t eat or drink anything 8-10 hours before your surgery. The other thing is they will prescribe an antibiotic that kills all bacteria in your system the morning of your operation.
A couple optional but recommended things to do pre operation are to schedule basically a week of recovery time. You never know how long it will take. For me (Erik), it took about a week and a half before I started eating normally and participating in sports.You will also need someone to drive you home and take care of you because the first few hours you will not be able to do much especially if you chose to use general anesthesia. When you go to get the operation wear loose clothing so that they can insert the IV easier and you will be comfortable since the surgery lasts for about 45-2 hours.
These are the basic things you will need to do to prep for your wisdom teeth removal!
