Not sure I agree. I have had no issues with the extractions I do myself, but
send the impactions to the OS. Not sure what he does for each case, but
sometimes he prescribes stuff like Tylenol 3, which I haven't found to be any
better than OTC stuff. As for narcotics, I had one patient who did get some
heavy duty stuff following OS, and passed out in her bathroom, and fractured all
her upper incisors on the counter. In all fairness though, I also had a patient
fractured an upper canine that had a post and crown when he tried to open a
child-proof OTC med bottle with his teeth...so nothing is foolproof (;^P)
