Question:

I'm getting my wisdom teeth out in the morning.. What can i eat?

I'm getting my wisdom teeth out in the morning. They said no food after 6 and no water after midnight... Can I have a milkshake before midnight? Does that count as non-food?


Answers:

Yup, nil per os (no food or drink) to prevent vomiting from the anesthesia, but not just to prevent vomit from contaminating the sites-- More importantly it minimizes risk of vomit aspiration (chunks getting into the respiratory tract and lungs, which would be bad!).
