“…Consumers highly regarded personalised advice and viewed pharmacists as a good source for this advice. Medication discrepancies in dental records frequently involve drugs that cause oral health problems and complications with dental surgery (Choi, Stewart, & Tu, ). A US single‐centre study of dental records showed medication discrepancies and omissions occurred in 72% of patients (Choi et al, ); currently, no Australian studies have assessed patient medication discrepancies within dental records (Moses, ).…”

A US single‐centre study of dental records showed medication discrepancies and omissions occurred in 72% of patients (Choi et al, ); currently, no Australian studies have assessed patient medication discrepancies within dental records (Moses, ). Patients and dentists have an opportunity to consult their pharmacist for a comprehensive medication review to identify any medicine‐related problems relating to oral health which ideally can be brought to the dentists attention (Moses, ).…”

Australian and international findings report pharmacy staff are motivated to expand and undertake new roles in public health and expressed a strong interest in providing oral healthcare services to the community. We sought to describe consumer experiences within primary oral healthcare, and views about pharmacy staff roles and boundaries in providing oral health services as perceived by a sample of consumers living within metropolitan Australia. Sampling occurred purposively to enable diverse perspectives on the topic. Socioeconomic status, as defined by the Socio-Economic Index for Areas, was used as the primary criteria to stratify focus group recruitment.Thematic, in-depth analysis of focus group discussions was carried out. In all, 34 participants took part in six focus groups, held in metropolitan settings in Queensland, Australia. Findings show that consumers supported pharmacy staff performing noninvasive oral health services including providing oral health education and advice, reviewing medications and recommending evidence-based medications. As services became more invasive (i.e., oral screening and fluoride application), questions and concerns were raised around the appropriateness of the community pharmacy setting and the level of training of pharmacy staff to provide these services. This study identifies the need to support greater integration of oral healthcare roles by community pharmacy staff. Future innovative and collaborative research involving additional stakeholder groups are necessary to explore, develop and test the feasibility and effectiveness of pharmacy-led oral healthcare models.

“…A study by Choi et. al assessed the number and type of medication discrepancies discovered as part of usual care at a free dental clinic [14]. This study determined that medication omissions are the most commonly identified discrepancy, with omitted medications causing potential adverse effects important to oral care [14].…”

“…Interprofessional training of pharmacy and dental students has the potential to fill some of these gaps. Pharmacy students can teach dental students how to gather and document a thorough medication history while dental students can reinforce drug knowledge on how certain medications impact oral care [14]. Ongoing, professional relationships between dentists and pharmacists will improve comprehensive patient care as each professional provides their own expertise.…”

“…Pharmacists collaborate with dentists in a variety of ways, many of which fall outside the traditional dispensing role of the pharmacist. A review of the literature has identified pharmacists in academic dental practice settings providing medication reconciliation services, antimicrobial stewardship, assisting in appropriate opioid prescribing, facilitating interprofessional education, didactic lecture, and smoking cessation counseling 1–13 .

Purpose/objectives Reports have described pharmacists providing services within academic dental settings. The full scope of these activities and where they exist is unreported. This environmental scan was performed to identify and summarize the levels in which pharmacists provide support to predoctoral dental education programs. Methods A survey was circulated in summer 2019 to all CODA accredited dental schools through the American Dental Education Association (ADEA) clinical dean listserv. The IRB approved survey consisted of 23 questions pertaining to the pharmacist's role in predoctoral dental education programs. Institutions were asked whether pharmacists were used and what kinds of services pharmacists provided. Pharmacist roles were classified into standard pharmacy services, clinical pharmacy services, medication inventory, education, and administration/research. Univariate analysis was performed on responses and reported using descriptive statistics. Results A response rate of 59.1% from 66 institutions was achieved. Of those responding, 28.21% reported utilizing a pharmacist at their institution. Of the institutions responding positively to utilizing a pharmacist, the most common standard pharmacy services used were patient counseling regarding a disease state (50%), and medication errors/adverse event reporting (60%). Some clinical pharmacy services provided were medication history collection (70%), advising antimicrobial selection (50%), and treatment plan consultation (60%). Pharmacists were also found to be active in education, school administration, and research. Conclusion Pharmacists are utilized at just over a quarter of responding CODA accredited predoctoral dental education institutions in the United States. Where deployed, pharmacists provide a wide array of services.
