Allergies
Many people have allergies to dust and pollen. Some people have
specific allergies to certain medications or materials. You will be asked about
any specific allergies you may have on your new-patient questionnaire. Be sure
to let us know prior to treatment if you have allergies to any of the following:
Allergies to Medications
 If
you have ever had an allergic reaction to any medication, including dental anesthetics,
please let us know. If you can't remember the name of the medication, we can
contact the health care provider that used or prescribed the medication to get
the name. There are also alternate drugs that can be prescribed in case of allergies
to oral antibiotics or analgesics (pain relievers).
Allergies to Materials
If you are allergic to Latex, please notify us prior to treatment
and we will be happy to use vinyl or Nitrile gloves instead. If
you are concerned about mercury, we can use mercury-free fillings.
If you have any other allergies we should be aware of, please let
us know so we can provide a comfortable environment for you.
