Best to just not eat. You can easily bite your tongue or cheek and cause
some real damage. 8 hours without food is just not a big deal. If you just
can't stand it, some fruit juices or soup would be fine. I just had a crown
put on and they had to pump me full of 3 times the normal novacain dose at
both sittings. I just waited until later that night to eat.
