Behind the counter & chair: Managing common dental conditions together

Patients experiencing common dental complaints often seek advice from either their pharmacist or dentist first. Yet despite their shared role in supporting oral health, collaboration between the two professions is often limited. In this interactive, evidence-based webinar, Dr Shaista Siddiqui and Christine Randall will explore how dentists and pharmacists can work together to improve patient outcomes in the management of everyday oral health conditions, including toothache, dentine hypersensitivity, ulcers, dry mouth, and teething. Through practical case discussions and real-world examples, attendees will gain insights into overlapping professional responsibilities, safe and effective over-the-counter (OTC) treatment options, key referral red flags, and opportunities for enhanced interprofessional collaboration. Join us for an engaging discussion on how a more integrated, patient-centred approach can transform the management of common dental complaints and strengthen the partnership between dental and pharmaceutical care.
