Some dental procedures, such as tooth extractions and oral surgery, may call
for our office to prescribe medications before or after a procedure. These
medications are used to prevent or fight an infection, or to relieve any
post-operative discomfort and pain.
For these reasons, it is extremely important that you share your entire medical
history - including any medications you are currently taking - with our office.
Some medications used in dentistry, and other medical practices - could interact
with those medications in a detrimental way. In addition, if you have any
allergic reactions to certain medications, it is important for our office to
know beforehand.
Finally, if you are prescribed any medication by our office, follow the dosage
instructions very carefully, and if instructed, finish your entire prescription
even if you are no longer feeling pain. |
