I just went to a new dentist and they ensured me they offer gluten free services. I am so nervous of being glutened. I am so new and this and I just dont trust anyone. I start thinking I dont know if there utensils were clean enough, what about the rubber gloves, I am not entirely sure she washed her hands because I was so nervous.  I am feeling out.

They use fresh gloves on you .  They don’t go and eat lunch in them and then put them in your mouth!  ? 

if they are leaving gluten in the tools - then they should be closed down!  They clean the tools very well and some items are probably new and one use.  

There is a slight possibility there could be gluten in a product they use - but I really haven’t come across any and it sounds like they know to check.  Last time I was at the dentist , she said most of the stuff they use now even says “ gluten-free” on it.

      Thank you for the links to the articles.  Interesting reading. I'll be telling my brother in law because he has a lot of pain

      Oats naturally contain a protein called avenin, which is similar to the gluten proteins found in wheat, barley, and rye. While avenin is generally considered safe for most people with celiac disease, some individuals, around 5-10% of celiacs, may also have sensitivity to avenin, leading to symptoms similar to gluten exposure. You may fall into this category, and eliminating them is the best way to figure this out. Some people substitute gluten-free quinoa flakes for oats if they want a hot cereal substitute. If you are interested in summaries of scientific publications on the topic of oats and celiac disease, we have an entire category dedicated to it which is here: https://www.celiac.com/celiac-disease/oats-and-celiac-disease-are-they-gluten-free/
