Download medical and dental implications of the most prescribed medications

MEDICAL AND DENTAL IMPLICATIONS OF THE MOST PRESCRIBED
MEDICATIONS!!
Presented by Harold Crossley, DDS, PhD
August 31, 2012 8:30 am – 3:30 pm
Many physician-prescribed medications used by your patients have dental
implications and side effects affecting your treatment plan. Many of these medications
are the drugs of choice of “doctor shoppers”. And one of these medications is the most
prescribed medication abused by adolescents. Some medications are more likely to cause
violent behavior and others can cause a “burning mouth syndrome”. And lastly, who sets
the standard for healthy blood pressure, pap smears, and cholesterol?
This presentation includes the indications, contraindications, and side effects of the
most commonly prescribed medications. Many of these medications were not approved
when you took your pharmacology course in dental school. These medications represent
30% 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.
