SDCEP dental companion app
The Dental Companion app brings SDCEP’s evidence-based guidance to your mobile device.
The app joins the popular SDCEP Dental Prescribing app as a handy way of accessing SDCEP’s dental clinical guidance.
For convenience, the Dental Companion website is also provided for access from any computer.
The Dental Companion presents four diverse guidance ‘toolkits’ based on the following SDCEP publications:
- Prevention and Treatment of Periodontal Diseases in Primary Care
- Management of Dental Patients Taking Anticoagulants or Antiplatelet Drugs (Please note that a new edition of this guidance is available and the content of the Dental Companion App will be updated to reflect this in due course.)
- Oral Health Management of Patients at Risk of Medication-related Osteonecrosis of the Jaw
- Prevention and Management of Dental Caries in Children
Each toolkit includes the key recommendations from the full published guidance, with supporting tools such as flowcharts and links to patient information.
