Preparing For Oral Sedation Before Your Procedure

  • Do not drive after you have taken the medication.
  • Please have an adult come with you to act as an escort and drive you home after the procedure. This person will need to wait for you in the waiting room until the procedure is completed, unless otherwise directed.
  • Eat a light meal prior to your appointment.
  • On the day of your procedure, wear loose-fitting, comfortable clothing with short sleeves or sleeves that roll up easily.
  • If you are taking medications, other than the medicines prescribed in this office, please bring them or a list of them with you.
  • Please bring the remaining triazolam pills with you to your appointment.
