MEETING AGENDA:

Avoid Liability: Know Your Patients Medications and Their Impact on Dental Treatment

    Your patients are living longer thanks to their medications but many of the physician-prescribed medications used by your patients have dental implications and side effects affecting your treatment plan.  Some medications are more likely to cause violent behavior and others can cause a burning mouth syndrome and in fact, others may cause sexual dysfunction.  Is antibiotic prophylaxis required for patients with an orthopedic prostheses? How can I minimize prescribing opioid medications for post-operative pain? What is the new FDA warning about codeine and tramadol in children? This program fulfills the Massachusetts Dental Board requirement for opioid prescribing.
    This presentation includes the indications, contraindications, and side effects of the most common physician- prescribed medications. Many of these medications were not approved when you took your pharmacology course in dental school. These medications represent one third of all prescriptions taken by your dental patients and familiarity with these drugs will provide the dental practitioner with a better appreciation for the health profile of your dental patient.

At the conclusion of this course, the attendees will know:

Prescription, OTC medications, and foods that could adversely interact with dental drugs.
Why your patient is taking their medications.
What oral side effects may be caused by these medications
When not to prescribe NSAIDs.
The impact of medical marijuana on your dental practice
How to manage patients taking some of the newer anticoagulant medications
How to combine analgesics to maximize their effects.
Indications and contraindications for opiate analgesics.
Current recommendations for SBE and orthopedic prosthesis prophylaxis
