Dentistry Compounding

 At Helix Pharmacy, located right here in Stayner, we understand that every patient's dental needs are unique. When commercially available medications don't quite fit the bill, our specialized dentistry compounding services offer tailored solutions crafted by our experienced pharmacists. We work closely with dentists and their patients to create customized medications that address specific oral health challenges and sensitivities.

What is Dentistry Compounding?

Dentistry compounding involves the preparation of customized medications specifically for dental applications. This allows for:

• Personalized Formulations: Tailoring medications to a patient's specific needs, such as allergies, sensitivities to certain ingredients (like dyes, preservatives, or flavors), or specific dosage requirements.
• Unique Dosage Forms: Creating medications in forms that are easier for patients to use, such as: 
  • Oral Rinses: With specific concentrations of antibiotics, antifungals, or anti-inflammatory agents.
  • Topical Gels and Pastes: For localized treatment of pain, inflammation, or infections.
  • Lozenges and Troches: For slow release of medication in the oral cavity.
  • Custom Flavors: Making medications more palatable, especially for children or patients with taste sensitivities.
• Combination Therapies: Combining multiple medications into a single, convenient dosage form, as prescribed by the dentist.
• Discontinued or Unavailable Medications: Compounding medications that may no longer be commercially available.
