When you phone to make your appointment the secretary will give you details - however generally you are to have NOTHING to eat or drink (not even water) for 6 hours prior to your appointment time.

Bring with you:

  • Your referral letter for the procedure.
  • Any x-rays relevant to your procedure.
  • A list of current medications you are taking.
  • Medical insurance prior approval number/letter (if applicable).

Because you will have had sedation, it is important that you arrange for someone to drive you home following your procedure. You are not permitted, by law, to drive yourself.

On Arrival:

  • Further information regarding the procedure you are having will be made available to you.
  • A nurse will obtain health details from you.
