Pharmacotherapy is an essential component of dental practice to manage pain, prevent infections, and maintain oral health. Analgesics such as non steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs) and opioids are commonly used to manage pain during and after dental procedures. Antibiotics are prescribed to treat and prevent infections, but their use should be limited to reduce the risk of antibiotic resistance. Local anesthetics provide safe and effective pain relief during dental procedures. Fluorides are used to prevent tooth decay and strengthen tooth enamel. Dental healthcare providers should evaluate each patient's individual needs and medical history to determine the most appropriate pharmacotherapy. Patient education on the proper use of medications and potential side effects is also important. By incorporating pharmacotherapy as part of a comprehensive dental care plan, patients can experience a more comfortable and successful dental experience.

The early prescribers of penicillin realised that antibiotics should be used wisely and as an adjunct to traditional surgical provision. They predicted that inappropriate use would increase sensitisation to the drug. National Health Service dentists prescribed almost 10% of antibiotics issued in NHS general practice in 2016 and an audit shows that many of these may have been prescribed inappropriately. One of the causes of antimicrobial resistance is over prescription of the drugs. This paper recalls the recommendations of some early users of penicillin, reports on the current prescription patterns of dentists in England, describes the mechanism of acquisition of anti-microbial resistance and discusses dentists' role in attempting to reduce the problem.
