Latex Allergy and Latex Free Gloves

In continuing to try and improve the level of care for our patients, we wish to advise patients that we have recently made a decision to stop the use of latex gloves within the practice.

For many years, latex gloves have been the gloves of choice within the medical and dental profession, due to their comfort, ease of use and low cost. However, they do carry the risk of allergic reaction with a small number of people with latex allergy, which can be extremely serious. Where we are aware that a patient has a latex allergy, a latex free option would be used, but clearly there is always the risk that a patient may have a latex allergy and be unaware of this.

In view of this, and the improvement in quality of latex free gloves, we will now no longer be using any latex containing gloves within the practice. This will eliminate the risk to patients of any such allergic reactions.

Welcome to No Fear Dentists

Welcome to the new, shiny and sparkling, website for our dental practice in Bath in the lovely West Country.

We’ve tried harder than ever to give visitors a real hands-on feel about the practice – our web presence has been around for an amazing 8 years – time flies and things move on … we hope to build on the fantastic feedback and response that we have already received, and will endeavour to continue to make our site a great place to visit.

Not only can existing patients, and potential new patients, readily access information about the practice, who we are, what we do we would like to think that we are giving patients a general feel for our approach to dental care … we hope that our friendly and relaxed atmosphere, plus our gentle and sympathetic approach to treatment, will also help to transform an anxious patient’s experience of a visit to the dentist.

We hope you enjoy exploring the site, and make use of the links to be found throughout … please feel free to continue providing us with valuable feedback … you can simply use our feedback page … and always, we very much look forwards to hearing from you.
