seizure from glues or resins

[carlee]

How does most dentist handle a patient that has seizures when exposed to glues? I know
that glues or resins are used when doing a crown. Are the dentist trained to know what to
do to keep the patient safe? Should the patient take a mask to wear over their nose during the part of the procedure that uses glue? Thanks.

it's not the same as "sniffing glue" is that why you ask? I think any dentist can maintain an airway and call 911.

dental adhesives are pretty much unique to dentistry. After all where else do you need a bio-compatible adhesive that won't dissolve after decades of exposure to saliva and hardens in 2 minutes? I doubt that you would have any issues with dental adhesives.
As to handling a patient's seizure issues that is best discussed with the dentist as individual training will vary greatly.

Thanks for your replies. You can't imagine how you have helped me. I'm on my way
to the dentist hoping everything will go well & I don't have a problem.
