Hurts So Good! Managing Dental Pain, Prescribing Opioid Analgesics and their Imp
Management of acute dental pain is accomplished through a clinical approach that successfully incorporates opioid and non-opioid analgesics. However, this normally occurs outside the dental office, away from our immediate supervision and we are often faced with the difficult task of managing patient pain while also avoiding adverse outcomes for both our patient and our communities. Thus, it is critical for clinicians to accurately identify the need for pain control, individualize patient care and assess the efficacy of the analgesic agents to be administered. This program will provide an overview of the effective management of acute dental pain. Using case scenarios, special emphasis will be given to appropriate utilization of opioid analgesics and their impact on the dental community.
