Applied Pharmacology for the Dental Hygienist, Eighth Edition, is written with the specific needs of the dental hygienist in mind to help ensure your success in this subject matter. Society is information-conscious, and it is expected that the dental hygienist be knowledgeable about medications. Dental hygienists are called on to complete medication and health histories, administer certain medications, provide counseling about oral hygiene, and, in some states, prescribe medication and provide counseling about medications.

The primary goal of Applied Pharmacology for the Dental Hygienist remains to produce safe and effective dental hygienists and to offer them the tools that they need to continue to learn throughout their lifetimes. This Edition of Applied Pharmacology for the Dental Hygienist provides the dental hygienist with the necessary knowledge of pharmacology to assess for medical illness, adverse reactions, and drug interactions that may affect oral health care and treatment. It is not intended that the dental hygienist take the place of the dentist in providing the patient with information about the various medications but that the hygienist will work with the dentist in providing appropriate patient care.
