The third edition of the popular Drug Prescribing For Dentistry  guidance  from the Scottish Dental Clinical Effectiveness Programme (SDCEP) has now been launched.

The  guidance in aimed at dental practitioners in the primary care sector, and applies to all patients, including adults, children and those with special needs, who would normally be treated in this sector. The guidance is also available as a smartphone app.

The guidance is presented in the same problem-orientated layout as in earlier editions but included more comprehensive information on drug interactions and a bacterial infections management guide.

The guidance brings together advice on dental prescribing from the BNF and BNFC and is intended to be used in conjunction with them.
