New Chairside Tool Supports Antibiotic Prescribing Decisions

Sep 10, 2026
The ADA Council on Scientific Affairs has developed a new chairside tool to help dentists make evidence-based antibiotic prescribing decisions. The tool accompanies the recommendations in the ADA’s new Antibiotic Stewardship — Balancing Patient Care and Public Health clinical practice statement and provides a quick reference for determining when antibiotics may be appropriate for dental infections.

Access the chairside tool to support appropriate prescribing decisions and antibiotic stewardship in practice.
