Dentistry
Dentistry is an ideal field for compounded medications. There are many situations where traditional medicines and treatments might not be enough.
Whether it is an eight-year-old who needs a cavity filled or an eighty-year-old who needs to be fit for dentures, each patient may benefit from custom compounds made especially for them.
Working closely with a compounding pharmacist, a dental practitioner can prescribe medications for:
- Pain relief
- Procedural anxiety
- Topical anesthetics
- Nausea
- Dry socket treatments
- Gag reflex suppression
- Mucositis caused by radiation or chemotherapy
- Gum disease
- Oral thrush
- Oral ulcers
- Canker sores and more!
Dental dosage forms include:
- Transdermal gels
- Lip balms
- Mouth rinses
- Lollipops
- Oral-adhesive pastes
- Troches
- Mucosal bandages (powder puffers)
