4/6: I just came from @meetMSDA Symposium w/ dental leaders where we discussed the importance of prescribing practices for opioids. Dentists are the leading source of opioid prescriptions for children and adolescents. #optoutofopioids #msdasymposium2019
5/6: Our young adults and adolescents are a very susceptible age group at high risk for opioid misuse and abuse after exposure during medical treatment if prescribed. #optoutofopioids #msdasymposium2019
6/6: My Surgeon General’s Report on Oral Health will highlight and uplift prescribing changes that are helping to curb the opioid epidemic. #optoutofopioids #msdasymposium2019
When used correctly for acute or chronic pain, opiates are an excellent pain reliever. There's no limit on the amount that can he prescribed (per FDA), because opiates not containing Tylenol do not kill the kidneys or liver like Tylenol does. Less than 1% get addicted...continue
If you are susceptible to addiction, then that's when it occurs. Addiction destroys lives..pain medications for acute or chronic pain patients improve their lives..prescribing has declined...just talk to the thousands who have been denied their meds..
30 years ago I was prescribed hydrocodone cough syrup when I had a bad case of bronchitis as a high school junior. The doctor didn’t even mention that it was an opioid, let alone warn of any side effects or potential for abuse or overdose. Which, of course, happened. 
This has been falsified by data and good explanatory knowledge. You continue performing mental gymnastics to produce easily variable explanations to appease anti-opioid nonprofit cults like PROP.
