What should you not do before a tooth extraction?

I am a 28 year old female and I need a tooth pulled. What should you not do before a tooth extraction?

1 Answer

1. No alcohol intake as it can affect the effectiveness of the numbing solution (anesthetic).
2. No recreational drugs usage (ex: marijuanas) as it can affect the effectiveness of the anesthetic.
3. Keep your mouth keep (except before the surgery/extraction).
4. Get your pain medication ready. Be ahead of the pain/game.
Good luck! Hope you feel better soon.
