Don't drink and drill!

Did you know....? You shouldn't drink beverages with caffeine before dental appointments that will include drilling. Imagine this scenario, you get to the dentist, maybe a little nervous. The dentist applies the gel to numb your gums so you won't feel the shot. He gives the shot. He begins the procedure. You still feel the drilling. OUCH!!! Nobody wants that. Drinking caffeine actually makes it more difficult to let the Novocaine(or other numbing medicine ) do it's job.
If you have a morning appointment, I know that this could be less than ideal. Trust me, I LIKE my morning coffee to chase away the night time spider webs from the brain. On the mornings that you are being drilled, leave the cob webs. They'll go away. You will be sleeping in the dental chair anyway right? Our patients often do to sleep while being worked on. What you don't at your dentist? Then, maybe , you're going to the wrong dentist!!!!
