It is critical for dental clinicians to employ appropriate prescribing practices. We’ll cover best practices when assessing pain control and educating patients on opioid-associated risks and safety. This program provides techniques for effectively assessing and managing dental pain, appropriately prescribing analgesics, educating patients on adverse effects and proper handling of opioids.
