Course Description:

Antibiotics in Dentistry- An update on current thoughts of when to prescribe
This course is an update on the current literature of when to prescribe and which antibiotics to prescribe for dental infections. As a dentist, hygienist and even dental assistants should be aware of the medications a patient is taking.  It is also incumbent that the dentist be aware of the side effects and convey this to the patient.  You should update at every treatment session. Your records should indicate any allergies  The latest on which patients need antibiotic prophylaxis. What are the alternative antibiotics and risks associated with antibiotics.
Medications that affect the oral cavity and how to manage these patients.
A second part to this course is once again updating a patient’s medical history including their medications. The complications of patients who are on “blood thinners” and to be aware of their actions.  Unlike Coumadin, others such as Eliquis have no antidote.  Preparing for surgical procedures and dealing with post operative bleeding will be discussed.  Other medications for high blood pressure, calcium channel blockers can cause gingival overgrowth making the patient more susceptible to caries and periodontal disease.  Osteoporosis medications can result in jaw necrosis.
