Usually the IV will come out if you can take enough to drink by mouth and there is no need for medications such as intravenous antibiotics or painkillers. This is more often a function of your surgical procedure, and your surgeon will advise you accordingly.
The anesthetic drugs are largely gone from your body within hours of your operation, though we advise against performing fine procedures such as driving, operating machinery or signing legal papers for the first 24 hours after any anesthetic. Any drugs you take, including those used for recreation, should be known by your anesthesiologist prior to your procedure, for interactions are always possible.
However, modern anesthetic techniques allow you to continue to take your scheduled medications even prior to the operation, unless you are specifically advised not to do so. Please check with the surgeon or anesthesiologist if in doubt. Sometimes patients may think, or be told, that they are 'allergic to anesthesia' because they have an unpleasant experience that they associate with anesthesia, for example nausea and vomiting.
These are side effects of drug administration, not allergic reactions. A true allergic reaction to a drug usually produces hives or weals on the skin, wheezing in the lungs, swelling of the mouth, throat or eyes, and sometimes a drop in blood pressure.

Healthy teeth are strong, but an impact from a blow to the face or a car accident, for example, can damage teeth and surrounding tissue. The result may be chipped or loose teeth. Similarly, clenching the teeth during times of stress or grinding them at night can wear down the tissues and loosen the teeth.
Many people are unaware of their clenching or grinding habits until they result in jaw pain. A dentist may be able to detect the problem before the teeth are permanently damaged. Anyone who suspects that an injury has damaged the teeth should see a dentist as soon as possible. Sports injuries, accidents, and falls, for example, can cause dental damage. Osteoporosis is a disease that causes the bones to weaken and become porous.
As a result, even minor bumps and impacts can lead to broken bones. While osteoporosis commonly affects the spine, hips, and wrists, it can also damage the bones in the jaw that support the teeth.
If the jaw bones become less dense, the teeth may loosen and fall out. Certain medications used to treat osteoporosis can cause dental health problems, though this is uncommon. In rare cases, drugs called bisphosphonates, which help to treat bone loss, can lead to loose teeth.
This is known as osteonecrosis of the jaw. Authors of one study suggest that osteonecrosis rarely occurs in people who are taking bisphosphonates in pill form, but that the condition may develop in people who receive the medication intravenously. Loose teeth cannot always be prevented, but a person can take steps to reduce the risk. Tips for tooth and gum health include:. For an adult, a loose tooth can be alarming.
However, the tooth can sometimes be saved, especially when the problem is detected early. If a tooth is lost or must be removed, a number of restorative methods can give the appearance of a natural tooth. Bruxism is teeth grinding or clenching that occurs when someone is not chewing. It can happen when someone is awake or asleep.
