Dr. Hawryluk Jr. will assess your personal needs and will provide a treatment that may have the option of being asleep.

Below are some general points to consider when preparing for your dental work asleep:

Patients mustn’t eat solid food (including candy or gum) in the 8 hours preceding the sedation. No drinks are permitted in this period as well. (not even milk, Juices, or coffee. You (or your child) may drink up to 1 cup of water or clear apple juice up to 3 hours before the appointment. No other liquids are permitted. If you take medications, they should be taken as usual with a small sip of water unless otherwise directed by your anesthetist. Dress yourself (or your child) with loose-fitting clothes so that monitoring equipment can be applied easily. Please bring a change of clothes (for children a diaper if necessary). Patients are not to wear contact lenses, makeup, of nail polish. Please advise the doctors of any recent changes to your (or your child’s) health and confirm the person who will be driving you (your child) home the day of the sedation. The patient cannot go home alone. Following these mandatory steps before your sedation will ensure a calm, comfortable environment for your dental visit asleep.
