4. Train Clinical Staff
Applying the WDPP clinical algorithm for non-opioid pain control and antibiotic stewardship for dental pain.
OVERVIEW
Addressing dental pain and infection is low-hanging fruit. Clinical staff should agree to and utilize the best information in treating dental pain and infection, and assure their clinic has the resources and processes in place to make treatment second nature.
