In dental hygiene school, you have to take pharmacology. Drugs are an important component of the medical history and are used to support patients with a variety of conditions. It is important for the dental hygiene student to understand drug pharmacological effects, adverse reactions, side effects, and dental considerations. As providers, we should have an understanding of drug uses and precautions. In this episode, I speak with Rachel Leo Flagg, a professor who has been teaching pharmacology for over a decade to dental hygiene students about barbiturates and benzodiazepines similarities and differences. Rachel helps create an understanding of how to remember important information and the role of the dental hygienist when working with patients who are prescribed these drugs.

As I say.... "Those who know will grow."
