Quick question about dental

rottie 11 · 2019-02-13 10:28:38

My otherhalf went to get a filling few days ago and the dentists gave her a prescription with 3 different types of medication on it. What's that about ? I've never been prescribed anything from a dentist even after getting teeth pulled etc so why would they feel the need to prescribe her all this stuff just for a filling ?…

Sounds like it may not have been "just" a filling.
Was there infection? Another separate issue? Root canal treatment? Something somewhere has gone amiss in the communication process.
Only the dentist can answer. Have your OH phone them to clarify.

Ask you wife, the dentist will have told her what the prescriptions were for.
