Dental Compounding Products
Dental compounding expands the options available to you beyond mass-produced commercially-available medicine.
For some people with dental problems or anxiety over visiting the dentist, having access to unique, customized dental compounding products can help.
Some of the most common dental compounding products available include:
- Flavored-Enhanced Oral Medications – Many of the dental medications you or a loved one may be required to take can have a highly unpleasant taste or texture. With the help of dental compounding, a registered pharmacist can create a solution that tastes better, without losing any of the drug’s effectiveness.
- Pastes, Gels, and Losanges – These products are often used by dental professionals to deliver targeted pain relief to sore areas in the mouth. Custom-made pastes or gels could be used to numb a specific area of the mouth before injection, or to relieve pain.
- Lollipops – These products are often used by children, or even by adults with difficult swallowing pills. Pain relievers, oral anesthetics, or other drugs can be compounded together in order to facilitate administration.
In addition to the above, our dental compounding pharmacists can prepare lip balms, capsules, sublingual medications, oral sprays, and many other products.

Compounding and Dental Anxiety
Often, some patients can undergo or experience severe anxiety before or during a trip to the dentist.
In fact, fear and anxiety over visiting the dentist is extremely common. People are liable to feel anxious about a variety of things when going for a checkup: from the sound of a drill to the scraping of instruments during a routine cleaning.
Fortunately, dental compounding products are one of the best innovations out there for dealing with the anxiety associated with a dental visit.
Going with a newly-flavored compound over a bitter oral medication can make a big difference for kids or folks that struggle with a gag reflex.
