Dentistry Compounding is a method of preparing and personalizing dental medications for individuals and their needs. The Pharmacy on Hiland can combine separate ingredients to create a customized formula. We work with your dentist to make sure the customization medication is appropriate for your dental needs, including strength and dosage form.

These products can be prescribed and made for several reasons, including:

• Procedural anxiety
• Pain relief
• Ulcers of the mouth
• Gum disease
• Fluoride treatments
• Canker Sores
• Treatment for dry socket
• Tooth whitening

Why is dental compounding beneficial?

Dental anxiety is a leading role in why people do not like going to the dentist. By utilizing dentistry compounding, you can have medications formulated to your needs that help with easing the stressors of dentistry. Using different dosage forms, you are able to replace a pill with a gel with the ability to vary strengths and flavors.

We offer the following options of medicines:

• Flavoring: allows your pharmacist to have various flavors in order to create a more appealing flavor medication without altering the effectiveness.
• Gels and pastes: gels and pastes are both very effective ways to deliver topical pain relief, which can replace an oral pain medication. Topical gels and pastes can also be used to help numb the area before procedures and injections.
• Lollipops: lollipops can be used with children or adults who have trouble swallowing pills. Oral anesthetics or pain relievers in lollipop forms are more palatable.

Apart from in the Dentist’s office, Dentistry compounding medicines can be used to make medications like mouthwashes, lip balms, or bleaching gels that need to be taken at home after your dental visit.
