The FDA, ADA , State and Federal Government as well as media are all very concerned and highlighting the excessive use of narcotics and other addictive medications in dentistry. Dr. Maron will lead a discussion on current recommendations in pain management for the dental patient. From premedication to local anesthesia, staying abreast of the latest protocols is critical for ideal pain control. We will examine oral sedation and the requirements for state anesthesia certification as well as post-op pain control, including appropriate use of narcotics and anti-inflammatory medications.
