Comments on Dept of Dentistry Prescribing of Opioids
 

My suggestion is that the Board of Dentistry regulation mirror exactly the board of medicine related to requirements for treatment of acute pain.  It appears there are differences between the required co-prescribing of naloxone.  I also support the mandated check of the PMP for all opioid prescriptions written, not just for second prescription.
