c.Schedule the patient early in the day and use latex-free gloves, dam, and other supplies in a room prepared to avoid latex residue

Giải thích
A latex-allergic patient should be scheduled early, ideally as the first appointment, in a treatment room where airborne latex particles have settled, and every latex-containing item must be replaced with a latex-free alternative. Changing latex gloves more often still exposes the patient. Premedicating with an antihistamine does not prevent a reaction and does not substitute for removing the allergen.
