A third edition of the popular Drug Prescribing For Dentistry guidance was launched this week.
The guidance brings together advice on dental prescribing from the BNF and BNFC and presents it in a problem-orientated style. Advice on drugs used to manage medical emergencies is also provided, and the third edition includes more comprehensive information on drug interactions and a bacterial infections management guide. The intention is for the guidance to be used in conjunction with the BNF and BNFC
The guidance is suitable for informing dental practitioners in the primary care sector, and applies to all patients, including adults, children and those with special needs, who would normally be treated in this sector. The guidance is also available as a smartphone app.
