Summary:

The Dentist's Drug and Prescription Guide is written for dental professionals seeking quick advice on prescribing medications for their patients.

Recommendations for pharmacologic treatment with periodontal and implant surgery as well as treatment of periodontal diseases, dental pain, and infections are also covered.
