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 your child may
have on their new-patient questionnaire. Be sure to let us
know prior to treatment if they have allergies to any of the
following:
Allergies
to Medications
 If
your child has 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 alternate drugs
that can be prescribed in case of allergies to oral antibiotics
or analgesics (pain relievers). |
Allergies
to Materials
If
your child is allergic to Latex, please notify us prior to
treatment and we will be happy to use vinyl or Nitrile gloves
instead. If they have any other allergies we should be aware
of, please let us know so we can provide a comfortable environment
for your child.
