How to prepare for your hospital visit

Before you arrive

Your dentist or the hospital will confirm your admission time and any specific fasting instructions ahead of your procedure. As a general guide:

• Follow the fasting instructions provided by your anaesthetist
• Arrange for someone to drive you home and stay with you afterwards
• Wear comfortable, loose-fitting clothing
• Leave jewellery and valuables at home

On the day

When you arrive, hospital caregivers will complete your admission requirements, confirm your consent for treatment and fit you with a patient identification band. You may need to wait in a patient lounge before your procedure, and the hospital will let you know of any delays.

Going home

As a day patient, you’ll return home on the same day as your procedure. In the first 24 hours afterwards, you should not drive, operate machinery, drink alcohol, or sign any legal documents.
