Armed with limited, often biased information and faced with rising prescription drug costs, many of our patients choose to self-medicate with a variety of prescription drugs, OTC drugs, supplements and substances. This program will evaluate the implications of this self-medication on dental therapy and identify strategies for managing these patients. Explore the most common prescription and non-prescription drugs used to self-medicate and their potential dental considerations. Additionally, we will discuss techniques useful in identifying self-medication and obtaining a complete and accurate medication history.
