Natural rubber latex (NRL) allergy peaked in the 1980s and 1990s and much has been done in health care and dentistry to reduce risk and recognise symptoms of what is still a serious issue for many. This article will not discuss the legal aspects of the management of NRL allergy but will refer readers to the very detailed article written for Dental Nursing by Ann Clarke in 2010. The references used by Ann for that paper remain the key background information sources for further reading.
This article is written as practical support for dental nurses as all the science is already available by spending a bit of time on the internet.
