Medications used in dentistry include analgesics to control pain, antibiotics to prevent or treat infections, mouthwashes to control plaque and gingivitis, fluoride supplements to prevent tooth decay, and artificial saliva to treat dry mouth. Anesthetics are used for pain control during dental procedures. Muscle relaxants may be prescribed to treat conditions like teeth grinding or temporomandibular joint disorders. Antifungals can stop the spread of infections like oral thrush or denture stomatitis.
