Dental Compounding
Dental pain and oral conditions can be uncomfortable and difficult to treat with standard medications. At Las Colinas Pharmacy, we work closely with dentists, oral surgeons, and patients to prepare customized dental medications to help provide relief, improve compliance, and support faster healing.
Through the art of compounding, our pharmacists can create personalized therapies in unique strengths, dosage forms, and delivery systems that aren’t always available commercially.
Common Dental & Oral Conditions
Compounded medications can play a role in helping to manage many oral and dental conditions, including:
- Tooth pain and post-procedure pain
- Gum disease and gingivitis
- Oral ulcers (aphthous ulcers, canker sores)
- Stomatitis (inflammation of the mouth)
- Dry mouth (xerostomia)
- Oral thrush and fungal infections
- Mucositis (often related to cancer treatment)
- TMJ-related pain and inflammation
- Pre- and post-surgical pain or infection prevention
Why Dental Compounding?
Every patient’s dental needs are different. Some patients are sensitive to ingredients in standard medications, while others need a specific dose, strength, or delivery method that isn’t commercially available. With compounding, we can:
- Prepare customized strengths for precise treatment
- Provide topical or localized therapies for help with pain relief and healing
- Create alternative dosage forms such as gels, rinses, swishes, or lozenges
- Combine multiple medications into a single preparation
- Remove irritants such as dyes, preservatives, or alcohol for sensitive patients
Common Compounded Dental Medications
Our pharmacy prepares a wide range of customized medications to help support dental care, including:
- Topical anesthetic gels or rinses – to numb the mouth and help ease discomfort before or after procedures
- Anti-inflammatory rinses and pastes – to help reduce pain and swelling in gums or oral tissues
- “Magic Mouthwash” – a compounded rinse that may include antihistamines, anesthetics, antifungals, antibiotics, or antacids for pain, ulcers, and mucositis
- Antifungal lozenges, troches, or rinses – for oral thrush or fungal infections
- Dry mouth treatments – customized mouthwashes or gels to help provide relief from xerostomia
- Transdermal or topical pain and muscle relaxation formulations – for TMJ or localized jaw pain
- Customized antibiotics or antivirals – when commercial options aren’t suitable or available
