Allergic to Latex? Don’t fear, Hagen Dental Practice is Latex Free

According to the American Academy of Allergy Asthma and Immunology, latex allergies affect between 5% and 15% of health care workers and approximately 1% of the general population. If you are affected by latex allergies, there is no need to worry because Hagen Dental Practice is completely latex free.

People who are allergic to latex can suffer from many reactions, ranging from sneezing and a runny nose to anaphylactic shock, with symptoms including difficulty breathing, nausea, and loss of consciousness.

Although anyone can develop a latex allergy, the people most at risk are those who have undergone many operations and those who have a food allergy.

"All patients can feel safe when visiting Hagen Dental Practice, knowing that the entire office is latex free," said Dr. Hagen.
