This is what I brought in to my dentist and it is tailored for my needs/level of sensitivity. You will need to modify it, but it’s a good place to start.

X rays: I react to the plastic sheath you use for the digital receiver. I need to use my own sandwich bags for this.
Safety
-My first point of reaction is always my mouth: tongue swelling, difficulty swallowing, sometimes lip swelling. In extreme cases I will have an asthma attack. I may need your help to watch out for swelling if we’ve missed anything about the ingredients or products used.
– If there is a swelling reaction, I have a benadryl pill that I can take.
– If my airway begins close off, I will need to use my epi-pen and then go to the emergency room.
