COSDI Pain Medication Policy
We are concerned about our patients’ health. We do not want our patients to become drug dependent. For this reason, we have formulated the following policy;
- Medication is not ordered for patients who come to the office for second surgical opinions.
- Opioid medication is not ordered for patients with normal evaluations.
- Opioid medications will be ordered for post-operative patients only. This dosage will be tapered. Opioid medication is not necessary for all surgery patients.
- Prescriptions will only be renewed from 8:00 a.m. to 4:00 p.m. Monday thru Friday. No prescriptions are issued for non-hospitalized patients during evenings, weekends or holidays.
- Sleeping medications, tranquilizers, or similar medications must come from the patients’ primary care or referring doctor.
No drug will totally eliminate pain. Our goal is for you to be able to tolerate the pain enough to allow adequate rest and recovery from your surgery.
FAQ
How will I feel after my surgery? — If you’re having surgery, you probably wonder how you’re going to feel afterwards. Many people worry that they will have pain. The amount of pain you will have, and how long it will last, depends partly on what kind of operation you are having. For example, deeply impacted wisdom teeth may have more discomfort than a single tooth removal or biopsy. How you feel after surgery also depends on your age, health, and other medical problems. Your doctors and nurses will work together with you to keep you as comfortable as possible after surgery.
How is pain prevented? — Our doctors use different medicines to make sure you do not feel any pain during your surgery. This is called “anesthesia.” Our doctors will always “numb” the area of your mouth being treated to help with after surgery pain.
