Bring this to your next appointment.

This professional, evidence based handout was created to bridge the communication gap between patients and dental providers who treat complex connective-tissue and autonomic disorders.It explains why people with Ehlers Danlos Syndrome (EDS), Dysautonomia/POTS, and Mast Cell Activation Syndrome (MCAS) often experience reduced or unpredictable anesthesia response, increased post procedural pain, and unique tissue or nerve reactions, all supported by peer-reviewed data.
