We decided that 2011 would be the year we became a latex-free dental clinic.
It was interesting to take stock of what contained latex in the materials we use to keep you healthy. Gloves aren't the only item. Anesthetic carpules, rubber dams, syringe stoppers, orthodontic bands, vacuum gaskets--the list goes on. So we found alternatives to all those items and more.
We will still update your medical histories every year, checking for various allergies. We will strive to keep our office as hypo-allergenic as possible. Stay tuned for more posts regarding our commitment to managing an ever-increasing list of emerging allergies for our patients.
