Opioid Request After a Wisdom Tooth Extraction

Dentists have historically been among the leading prescribers of opioids to adolescents and young adults, often after third-molar extractions. A patient who has just had a wisdom tooth removed asks you specifically for a strong opioid such as hydrocodone, saying that is what their friend got and that ibuprofen will not be enough.

How would you approach this request, and what is the dentist's responsibility in the context of the U.S. opioid epidemic?

Likely follow-up · What does the evidence say about non-opioid analgesia, such as combined ibuprofen and acetaminophen, for acute dental pain?

How would you approach learning this skill, how would you seek feedback from faculty, and how does deliberate practice apply?

Likely follow-up · Your first mirror-vision preparation is graded inadequate on two of three criteria. How do you respond, emotionally and practically, to that feedback?
