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.
