It then covers analgesic options for dental procedures, from the premedication opioid and IV opioids to local nerve blocks for major extractions and NSAIDs for post-operative and take-home pain relief. It finishes with monitoring in recovery, telling pain apart from drug side effects such as drooling, and the signs of pain to discuss with owners at discharge.
