Yes.: Yes. Whether confidential or not, please let your oral surgeon know that you are on Methadone and what dose. This is important information for post-op pain management for reasons of both safety and efficacy. It is an important part of your health history and will remain confidential.

Confidential: Important that you ALWAYS divulge all health information to any doctor that treats you. Information will be kept strictly confidential, but is required to manage treatment and post-treatment management. What's worse, being embarrassed or being hospitalized or even dead?
