        Finally! What took so long? The public speaking out huh because they never do the Right THING on their own. Someone has to go to jail for this. Many people have lost their lives ALL because of Greedy A$$HOLES.

        Since when do dentists prescribe medicines? I can't recall any single dental procedure I've had where a dentist has ever prescribed a painkiller. I've only ever had one Endodontist offer a script for a painkiller after a root canal, but never a dentist.

        I got a script from mine in 91 when I had my wisdom teeth removed. So at least that long.

        For my wisdom teeth removal, I went to a Maxillofacial Surgeon. Yes, a specialized dentist, I suppose, but I'd consider them a surgeon more than a 'dentist'. I think I was given a few Tylenol #5 to take for pain and these contain codeine (an opiate). I didn't take (or need) them.

        They didn't give me a script, though. They gave me a few in the office and then said to call if the pain persisted.

        Mine were removed by my regular dentist. And I@should have added that the script was for prescription strength ibuprofen not opioids.

        sorry, you give me a root canal or an extraction, aspirin won't cut it. I better get something, even if it's only a 5 day supply.

        How about getting #BigPharma to stop making more than is needed and flooding them into rural America

        About fucking time I'd say. How about all doctors put patients health & wellbeing first & not pharmaceutical companies. #dodgydocs 🤔

        Are they asking us to transcend dental medication?
