Dental Dangers

People are getting prescription drugs from their dentistsThe prescription meds that a painkiller addict craves may be as close as the local dentist's office, posing a danger for dental professionals and the addicted.

Doctors, fearing for their licenses, have become more cautious in doling out pain medication. As the crackdown continues on rogue doctors and online pharmacies for supplying prescription medication to painkiller addicts, new sources are being found. Resourceful (or desperate) painkiller addicts are now finding new ways to get their fix: the dentist.

The same painkillers prescribed by doctors following surgeries - codeine, Vicodin, OxyContin - are given out after some dental procedures, and those seeking these drugs for off-label uses know it. While doctors may require an office visit before prescribing any meds, some dentists don't make you come in first - a truth that those hooked on pain medication are quickly realizing.

Prescription Drug Addiction in America

Prescription drug addiction has become an increasing problem in the U.S., with nearly 7 million Americans abusing prescription medications. In the past, the focus has been on medical doctors giving pain meds to those who no longer need the medication for its original purpose. With this new trend, a crackdown on dentists doing the same can't be far behind.
