What this study is about
This trial is testing whether eating solid food before a wide awake local anesthesia procedure reduces anxiety or affects outcomes. Patients will be randomly assigned to either eat or fast before their procedure and then compared on levels of anxiety, nausea, satisfaction with the procedure, and other measures at follow-up visits.
