Do you suffer from gag reflex?
In addition to the products mentioned, several patients suffer form gag reflex while undergoing dental procedures. The compounding pharmacist at Nekos-Dedrick’s can make you an electrolyte tablet that would be administered and retained intra-orally a few minutes before the start of the procedure to help suppress the gag reflex.

Have you had radiation therapy of the head or neck region recently?
When a person receives radiation or chemotherapy, mouth tenderness and infections of the mucosal region can cause significant pain that can interfere with a person’s ability to eat function. We can compound lollipops, lozenges, and oral rinses which contain antibiotics, anesthetics, and protective agents to help heal damaged and painful mucosa.
