NITROUS OXIDE (LAUGHING GAS) PRE-OPERATIVE INSTRUCTIONS

Please ensure that when you confirm and come to your appointment, you still meet the screening criteria for COVID-19.  The questions can be found on our website at https://www.crescentoralsurgery.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/09/Covid-19-Screening-Website-Document-8Sept2021.pdf.

Please arrive 10 minutes prior to your appointment time and if this is your first appointment, please bring a list of all medications you are taking and any referral letters and/or x-rays given to you by your referring office. You must wear a face covering to our office. If you are under the age of 18, you can bring one guardian to your appointment.  If you are not under the age of 18, please come to your appointment alone.

Your procedure is booked under nitrous oxide sedation (laughing gas).   You should only have a light meal within 2 hours of your procedure, so that you do not come to your appointment with a full stomach.    If you would prefer to be asleep please contact our office. We require Government Issue ID, preferably your health card, for you to receive a prescription for pain medication.

If your surgeon has asked you to begin medication prior to your surgery please ensure to do so.  Unless instructed otherwise, you should also continue to take all your regular medications at the appropriate time.

We have various methods of payment available for you to settle your account in full and our staff will assist you with your insurance forms.
