Medications
We pride ourselves at the office of Dr. Karpovich in having the most informed patients around! In the office, treatment options will always be explained clearly, and questions about any aspect of your (or your child's) dental care are always completely welcome.
For your convenience and greater understanding, search our informative library of dental topics:
Some dental procedures, such as tooth extractions and oral surgery, may call for our office to prescribe medications before or after a procedure. These medications are used to prevent or fight an infection, or to relieve any post-operative discomfort and pain.
For these reasons, it is extremely important that you share your entire medical history - including any medications you are currently taking - with our office. Some medications used in dentistry, and other medical practices - could interact with those medications in a detrimental way. In addition, if you have any allergic reactions to certain medications, it is important for our office to know beforehand.
Finally, if you are prescribed any medication by our office, follow the dosage instructions very carefully, and if instructed, finish your entire prescription even if you are no longer feeling pain.
