Controlling dental pain

J P Gobetti. J Am Dent Assoc. 1992 Jun.

Abstract

The obligation to manage pain and relieve a patient's suffering is an important part of dentistry. The practitioner must balance pain control, concern for patient safety and side effects of pain treatment. There are no rigid prescriptions to manage postoperative pain.
