Course Description

Basic Science, Patient Care, Pharmacology

What is your patient NOT telling you about what they self-medicate with?

Armed with limited information and faced with rising prescription drug costs, many patients self-medicate with prescription and OTC drug products. Often this is not mentioned during their exam and review of their medical history. Unfortunately, this may put patients at risk for potentially serious interactions and adverse outcomes.

This program provides participants with an overview of the dental considerations of the most popular prescription and non-prescription drugs and supplements which patients use to self-medicate. Special emphasis will be given to techniques useful in successfully identifying self-medication and obtaining a complete patient medication history.

“The educational teaching methodology used in this course is live, interactive lecture presented via Zoom webinar with an accompanying PowerPoint presentation. Both the live webinar and the PowerPoint presentation incorporate a variety of audio and visual cues to enhance audience members’ understanding and retention of key concepts. In addition, question and answer periods are provided for at the conclusion of each section of the live webinar.” 

Course Objectives

At the completion of this course the participants should be able to:

  1. Identify and evaluate the potential considerations and impact on dental therapy from self-medication with: • Prescription and over-the-counter drugs • Herbal and nutritional supplements • Licit and illicit substances
  2. Learn techniques for successfully recognizing and managing self-medicating patients
