Who this list is for
This checklist is for teens or adults heading in for wisdom tooth extraction with sedation. If you’re the patient or the caregiver, use this list to pack a day bag for the procedure itself—not for recovery food or follow-up care. It’s designed for outpatient oral surgery, not hospital stays.
How to use this list
Start by gathering all paperwork and identification: photo ID, insurance card, and your oral surgeon appointment confirmation. If you received consent forms ahead of time, sign and pack those. Bring a current medication list and a medication allergy list. Review the oral surgeon’s prep instructions and include them for reference. If the patient is a minor, add a parent or guardian’s ID. Next, pack your phone, a charger, and cases for eyeglasses or hearing aids if you use them. Choose a comfortable short-sleeve shirt and loose sweatpants to wear. Check each item off as you add it to your bag.
Common mistakes
People often forget their medication or allergy lists, which slows down intake. Don’t assume your provider has every document—bring your own copies. Avoid wearing tight or complicated clothing; you may have monitors or IVs placed. Skip valuables, jewelry, or large bags. Don’t pack snacks or drinks unless your surgeon’s instructions allow it. Leave post-extraction supplies at home for your return.
What is on this list
You’ll need your photo ID, insurance card, and oral surgeon appointment confirmation. Include signed consent forms if you have them. Pack your medication and allergy lists, oral surgeon preparation instructions, and parent or guardian ID if needed. Bring your phone, charger, eyeglasses case, and hearing aid case if you use one.

Day-of
Before leaving, double-check the bag for all paperwork and essentials. Dress in the recommended clothes. Charge your phone and pack it with your charger. Arrive early with your ID and documents ready. After the procedure, you’ll want to head straight home—so keep the bag simple and focused only on the day’s needs.
