My dentist figured, even with sedation, it would take four appointments. My first appointment wasn&#8217;t until noon. I ate something that morning, even though they told me not to. When I took the sedation I became super sick. They asked me if I&#8217;d eaten. I was embarrassed and said no. Should I &#8216;fess up? My dentist wants to talk before my next appointment. I&#8217;m worried he won&#8217;t want to use sedation again.<\/p>\n<p>Susan W. &#8211; Little Rock, AR<\/p>\n<p>Susan,<\/p>\n<p>I would go ahead and confess to your dentist. Not because I don&#8217;t think he&#8217;ll treat you again, but because your dentist needs all the information in order to give you the proper dosage of <a href=\"https:\/\/libertyvilledentist.com\/sedation-dentist.html\">sedation<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>There is a good reason why you need to avoid eating. You put yourself in danger of aspiration. It&#8217;s in line with the same thought of not eating directly before surgery.<\/p>\n<p>I know it&#8217;s hard feeling hungry. If you find it difficult\u00a0to wait to eat, then I would suggest, after confessing to your dentist eating last time, that you request an early appointment for your next sedation session. That way you won&#8217;t be tempted.<\/p>\n<p>This blog is brought to you by <a href=\"https:\/\/libertyvilledentist.com\">Dr. David Potts<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>I needed a ton of dental work.
