Local Oral Surgery Practice Takes Public Health Emergency into Their Own Hands
Long-lasting, opioid-free option is offered for patients after surgical procedures
The nation’s current opioid epidemic is robbing the lives of 115 Americans each day, according to the National Institute on Drug Abuse. A report by Cedar Crest Behavioral Healthcare System showed the annual number of opioid-related deaths in Texas have increased 80% in the last 20 years. Bellaire Facial, Oral and Dental Implant Surgery is offering a pain management alternative to combat the crisis locally and calm the fears patients have of postsurgical pain and addictive narcotic prescriptions.
