Summary

This study looks at how emergency department (ED) doctors handle non-traumatic dental pain, like toothaches. Researchers will interview ED providers and analyze national data to understand why antibiotics and opioids are prescribed and what makes it hard to manage these cases. The goal is to design a tool to help doctors make better decisions, reducing unnecessary prescriptions and repeat visits. About 60 full-time ED providers will take part.
