I worked at TransCare for the last 5 years of the company's existence. Went in knowing nothing about medical billing/coding & after 5 years I went from Customer Service to a Medical Billing Specialist.
Can i brush my teeth while fasting for hdl test? QUESTION: Can i brush my teeth while fasting for hdl test? There is no scientifically proven theory on brushing your teeth while fasting for HDL test. However, some doctors prefer to advise their patients on not to brush their teeth while fasting for HDL test or before the test for glucose tolerance.
Is it possible that eating high cholesterol foods, i.e., cheese, olives, 24 to 48 hours before a cholesterol screening test could adversely affect the results â even with the twelve-hour fasting before the test? Thank you, Kaiser.
