Dental Compounding
Dentists will sometimes need specialized medication such as...
- Mouth rinses for oral ulcerations (canker sores) containing medication combinations such as antibiotics, antihistamines, antifungals, anesthetics, or antivirals
- Transdermal preparations for pain syndromes associated with chemotherapy, neuralgias and temporomandibular joint disorders (TMJ), trauma or infection. One such example of a transdermal is the polyox bandage used for wound care and oral ulcerations. This type of delivery system is superior as an oral bandage because it stays in place and continues to medicate in moist environments even if rubbed.
- Commercially unavailable medications and dosage forms such as Dyclocycline sprays and rinses
- Special flavoring
- Preparation of medications for intra-oral infections such as periodontal disease and candidiasis
- Electrolyte troches for dry mouth
- Sugar-free, dye-free, and preservative-free medicines
