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 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 have any other allergies we should be aware of, please let us know so we can provide a comfortable environment for you.

All Abscesses

An abscessed tooth is usually sensitive or painful. The discomfort is what normally alerts the patient to the problem. Occasionally, an abscess may be detected on an x-ray and treated before the patient experiences any discomfort. Left untreated, an abscess may compromise the immune system and in some cases may become life-threatening.
