Description

Opioid prescribing by Australian dentists has increased over the past decade, although the quantity dispensed has reduced. New research highlights some concerning trends with significant implications.
In this episode of the Dental As Anything podcast I speak to Associate Professor Leanne Teoh about her latest study and the implications for the dental profession. Leanne is a pharmacist, practising dentist and academic at the Melbourne Dental School.
She has a strong interest in dental prescribing and developed MIMS Drugs 4 Dent as a clinical decision tool for dental practitioners and co-authored Therapeutic Guidelines Oral and Dental Version 2.
