Dear Listmates -

Apparently my mentioning having the dentist use powder-free
gloves caused some confusion.  A couple of people thought
latex and non-latex disposable doctors'/dentists' gloves are
powdered with talc.

They can be powdered with wheat starch, oat starch (Oatrim),
 corn starch, etc.  The gloves will be in my mouth, so I am
insisting on powder-free gloves.
