How long are you not supposed to eat before getting your wisdom teeth out?

I swear it was eight hours, but I am doubting myself now, mainly because I am getting all nervous. I stopped eating at ten and my surgery is at 9:30. so I think I will be ok, but I am just nervous about this one thing...

    You got it all wrong you are suppose to eat!!! its like your last meal i eat a big meal right before my surgery its fine just dont eat anything that iwll upset your stomach and need to go potty lol but seriously EAT AND MAKE IT A GOOD MEAL DONT BE HUNGRY...you wont be able to eat normal for couple weeks after the surgery so enjoy your last meal while you can...its been month since i got all 4 of mine out and i still cant eat normal because of the large holes ..i have to use a syringe and squirt warm water in the holes to get the food out its gross lol

    good luck

  • Hmm, I'm not sure... When I had mine out... I wasn't given any instructions about not eating/drinking. I guess mine wasn't really surgury, I just got numbed up...

    Usually with any type of surgury, you're told not to eat after midnight.
