When did doctors start using latex gloves?

The answer varies throughout individual dental offices but latex gloves began in the early eighties. In 1989 the general rule of thumb was to wear gloves if the dentist expected there to be bleeding during the procedure. Today, frighteningly enough, there are people who still do not follow proper guidelines. But, the dental community has OSHA which regulates and shuts this type of action down. It is required by law to educate every staff member to learn all the proper techniques necessary to ensure health and safety. Patients should watch your health professional, see them wash their hands, and witness them opening sterile instruments. They should wear a mask and a set of fresh gloves, to protect the patient as well as the professional. If the professional must touch an object -- for examples, a pen, or a telephone -- they should remove "used" gloves before touching the object, and replace them with new gloves before continuing the dental procedure. NOTE: Many offices use non-Latex gloves now, since many people have allergies to Latex.

Are there any dental tips for those with thyroid autoimmune conditions?

Here are some general tips to consider courtesy of David Leader of Tufts University School of Dental Medicine. In 2014, Leader presented 'What Your Dentist Wants to Know About Your Autoimmune Disease' at an AARDA forum in Boston:If you haven't already, tell your dentist you have a thyroid autoimmune condition and how it affects you.Make sure to bring a list of your medications with dosages and purposes to discuss with your dentist for your dental/health records.Many dentist offices are kept at a cooler climate. If you have heat or cold intolerance, or Raynaud's, bring gloves and a blanket to your appointments.If you have pain or difficulty opening your mouth, do some physical therapy (this can be as simple as opening and closing your jaw several times) prior to your appointment. This will help your mouth open and close more comfortably during your dental exam or surgery. If your dentist has one, you can also request to use a bite block.Make sure to see your dentist regularly for cleanings. Most dentists recommend a cleaning once every six months. If you are pregnant, and depending upon your dental insurance coverage, they may require more cleanings.When your dentist takes x-rays, ask them if they can put a thyroid guard on your neck.
