“Come on Baby, Don’t Fear the Reefer!”: Navigating Dental Pain Management
With Analgesics...and Cannabis?
Management of acute dental pain is accomplished through a clinical approach that successfully incorporates opioid
and non-opioid analgesics. Recently, many states have legalized cannabis (marijuana) for medical and recreational use,
and cannabis has been promoted as an adjunct to analgesics in the management of odontogenic pain. Despite this rise
in social and legal acceptance, public health concerns regarding the use of cannabis remain, especially among dental
professionals. This course will provide an overview of the use of non-opioid and opioid analgesics, as well as the
potential use of cannabis, in managing dental pain.
Educational Objectives:
- Discuss the pharmacology and therapeutics of non-opioid and opioid analgesics in the management of dental pain.
- Describe the pharmacology, mechanism of action, routes of administration, adverse effects and dental considerations of cannabis.
- Explore the proposed use of cannabis as an adjunct in the management of dental pain.
