With the strict rules now a days, can general dentists prescribe drugs like hydrocodone, oxycodone etc? I know usually they will just tell the patient to take advil or something.
Are you serious? Isn't that out of our scope? I always thought we would be limited to antibiotics, painkillers and maybe anxiety meds? (not sure about that last one but so many people panic at the dentist). Then again I guess no one questions why antibiotics are being prescribed? Maybe he can get away with it.Yes, dentists can prescribe just about anything. A few weeks ago my boss prescribed a lady yeast-infection meds because she kept complaining that seeing her doc. was too expensive!!!!!! I'm not joking, though I really wish I was...

What do you have to do to get your DEA number after graduation of dental school, so you can prescribe these drugs?
Pain meds are some of the most frequently prescribed dental medications in existence. Amoxicillin & Vicodin are the two drugs I've Rx'ed the most, and I've prescribed those as much as everything else combined.
Thanks. I definitely prefer it too.Aphistis, I've got to say I like the look of DDS after your name a lot better than that count down you had going before. Congratulations.

Why the hate from everyone? No, this isn't me. This is Jim from The Office. Since you seem so interested, I am 6'1", 195 lbs, brown hair, blue eyes, got sort of a 5 o clock shadow thing going on. Should I send you a personal add with my photo or something?
