A member asked:
Need docs help! i am scheduled to get a wisdom tooth removed under local anesthesia, will i be fine on an empty stomach?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Yes: We prefer empty stomachs so you do not vomit on us should you be inclined but more importantly so you do not get vomit into your lungs; really bad. You may take any meds you need with water before the removal however you should not eat anything 8 hours before the removal.
