Responsibilities and Requirements of Prescribing Schedule II Opioid Drugs
Speaker: Andrew Young, DDS, MSD | CE: 2
Opioids are among dentistry's most effective, and riskiest, pain tools. This course guides you through safe pain control tailored to each patient, covering the mechanisms behind pain, and preoperative, perioperative, and postoperative strategies that often reduce or eliminate the need for narcotics. When opioids are necessary, we'll cover how they work, dosing, and how dependence and addiction develop. Also covered: prescribing laws and recognizing drug-seeking behavior. |
