Alternatives to Dental Opioid Prescribing After Tooth Extraction
The goal of this clinical trial is to test a three-item intervention in oral surgeons who remove teeth. The main questions it aims to answer are:

Can the intervention reduce opioid prescriptions to adolescents and young adults after tooth removal?
Do oral surgeons' beliefs about the intervention and opioid prescribing change?
Do patients that report using opioids after tooth removal have different experiences than patients that do not?

Oral surgeon participants will:

Attend a 1-hour education session with a trained pharmacist
Receive patient instructions and blister packs of pain medicine to give to patients
Complete 2 surveys about feasibility and appropriateness

Patient participants will complete a survey about pain and medication use after having a tooth removed.

Researchers will compare the intervention to usual care to see if it reduces opioid prescribing.
