Provide dental students with a complete understanding of drugs affecting patient care! Pharmacology and Therapeutics for Dentistry, 7th Edition describes how to evaluate a patient’s health and optimize dental treatment by factoring in the drugs they take. It explores the basic principles of pharmacology, the ways that drugs affect the body, and the potential for adverse drug interactions. With chapters written by a team of expert contributors, this is the only book written by dental pharmacologists for the dental market. Whether discussing the drugs a patient is already taking or the drugs prescribed by the dentist, this book helps dentists and dental hygienists learn to reduce risk and provide effective dental care.
