Universal Arts Pharmacy realizes that there are no two mouths that are alike, showing varying levels of dental health. In being different, each person’s mouth has its unique reactions to particular medications affecting a person’s gag reflexes.

Although, the healthcare industry realizes these differences among patients, the majority of pharmacies carry an inventory that tailors to the mainstream patient.

Universal Arts Pharmacy has the ability and facility to make compounds tailored to each patient’s individual needs with for dentists, orthodontists, and periodontists. These compounds can be made in different dosages and strengths

Ultimately, compounded medications assist in the treating of patients with unique medication needs.

Patient specific medications or medications for office use are available through our pharmacy. For more information on how our compounds can best meet your needs, contact us.

Electrolyte Troche

Suppression of Gagging reflexes for Dental Procedures

It has been found that an electrolyte tablet administered and retained intra-orally a few minutes before the start of a procedure can stop or suppress the gag reflex, allowing a mandibular block to be given with much greater ease, which further reduces the gagging reflex.
