<<Disclaimer: Verify this information before applying it to your situation.>> Hi Everyone, Thank you for all of your replies regarding my query into visiting the dentist. I had about 20 responses and a few requests for a summary. Three people said they have never had any problems after dental visits and did not list any precautions that we should take. Four people said to ask the dentist/dental hygenist/dental assistant to wear powered gloves because the powder may contain wheat starch or flour. Four people said to use cleaning paste or pumice without any flavouring as the flavouring may contain some gluten contamination. Two people recommended avoiding the fluoride treatment because it may contain gluten. One person said avoid the mouthwash. Another person said to avoid floss. Two people generically answered, yes it may be a problem and to discuss it with the dentist. I have since gone to get my teeth cleaned, I asked the hygenist to wear powder free gloves and told her I was celiac. She marked it on my chart to wear unpowdered gloves and highlighted it. As for the rest, I had the full treatment, pumice, fluoride with desensitizer and floss flavoured with mint. I did not have any kind of reaction. I wish I had been a little bit more demanding about the ingredients of the pumice and fluoride and floss but did not have any trouble. One thing I find inconvenient is the lack of ingredient info on toothpastes, flosses and mouthwashes. Thanks again, I hope this summary is useful to others. Gillian
