The MedAssent DDS Digital Drug Handbook makes it fast and easy for dental professionals to look up medications and get the information they need at the point of care. From dental-specific considerations like local anesthetic precautions, drug interactions, and dental implications to prescribing guidance tailored for dental treatment, MedAssent DDS helps you feel confident and prepared for every patient visit.
Trusted by over 400 dental professionals, it fits seamlessly into your workflow—allowing your team to quickly pull key information and help you make safer, more informed treatment decisions in seconds.
Our drug database is curated by our team of licensed pharmacists, dentists, and clinicians, and they draw from credible, public information sources such as the National Institute of Health's DailyMed and PubChem, the National Library of Medicine's MedlinePlus, and drug manufacturer guides.
Med Reports are the foundation of the MedAssent DDS program. Instead of looking up medications one-by-one, you can create a Med Report for a patient that contains all of the medications they are taking in one place. Each Med Report contains useful information in a bullet-pointed format, such as use, local anesthetic precautions, important information, and more. Additionally, Med Reports come in 3 levels of information density - Snapshot containing the fastest and most critical information, Quick View having more layers of information, and Detailed View with the largest breadth of information.
