Most toothaches are the result of inflammation, not infection. Despite this, antibiotics are often prescribed, contributing to the growing rise of antimicrobial resistance—one of the top ten global public health threats.

Join Choosing Wisely Talks on November 20 at 12 PM ET for a discussion on curbing unnecessary antibiotic use for toothaches. Expert speakers from dentistry and primary care will share alternative approaches for managing toothaches and strategies on how to use antibiotics wisely when needed.

This webinar will also include the launch of a new Choosing Wisely Canada dental toolkit, highlighting key insights and practical tools from the discussion.

Speakers:

• Dr. Susan Sutherland, Founding and Past President, Canadian Association of Hospital Dentists and Associate Professor, Faculty of Dentistry, University of Toronto
• Dr. Jennifer Young, Family Physician and Physician Advisor, College of Family Physicians of Canada
