Controlled Substance Prescriptions in Dentistry
Learn how dental professionals can combat the opioid crisis and adopt best practices for prescribing pain medications in this course.
About this course
Accidental drug overdose is the leading cause of death among Americans under the age of 50. In 2016 alone, more people died from drug overdoses than died during the Vietnam War. Approximately two-thirds of drug overdose deaths in 2016 were related to prescription or illicit opioids (Drug Policy Alliance, n.d.). It is not uncommon for individuals to become addicted following a simple dental procedure, such as a wisdom tooth extraction (JAMA Network, 2016). The following course is designed to help dental professionals understand their role in fighting the current opioid crisis as well as provide best practices that dentists can use when prescribing pain medications to their patients.

Real reviews, real results
I am always interested in continuing education in the areas of health, wellness, nutrition and mental health. Your course was well written, well organized and helpful in meeting state licensure requirements.
Verified reviewVery well written, easy to digest, time efficient, and straight to the point. Thank you!
Verified reviewI appreciate the convenience of the course being online and accessible through my phone and that it directly reports to CEBroker to support mandated education requirements.
Verified reviewI really loved this information. I was hospitalized last year for almost a month and I noticed multiple medical errors (not being hooked up to my IV multiple times, given wrong medication which caused my sodium to be very low, etc.) which lengthened my stay. I can now define those exact errors and better understand what happened to me. I hate that these medical errors are so common and I appreciate how well laid out your breakdown and categorization of them was.
Verified reviewI am always looking for concise ,thorough, and up to date continuing education, and this course provided exactly what I was looking for. Thank you
