The COVID-19 restrictions stopping dentists in England from offering face-to-face therapy required some to unnecessarily prescribe antibiotics for dental ache, a research by College of Manchester researchers has proven.
The outcomes of the research had been based mostly on an evaluation of NHS dental antibiotic prescribing knowledge in England from earlier than and through the pandemic, and a web-based survey in 2021 of 159 NHS dentists throughout England.
The paper is revealed within the British Dental journal forward of World Antimicrobial Consciousness Week (18-24 November), which goals to deal with the worldwide emergency of antibiotic resistance.
