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. We have alternate
anesthetics that can be used in case of allergies to certain dental
anesthetics ("numbing" agents). 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 Nitrile gloves instead. If you are sensitive to
mercury, rest assured that we use only mercury-free restorations. If you
have any other allergies we should be aware of, please let us know so
we can provide a comfortable environment for you.
