LONDON, UK: Prescriptions for antibiotics are at an all-time high in most developed countries, and the associated development of antimicrobial resistance has health officials around the globe worried. A summit organised by the British Dental Association (BDA) in London in November is bringing together regulators and antimicrobial specialists to discuss how dental professionals in the UK can combat the rising threat.
The meeting, which will tie in with European Antibiotic Awareness Day on 18 November, aims to explore the current use of antimicrobials in dentistry. The BDA said that it plans to compile a consensus report from the discussions that will be presented at the organisation’s next annual congress in Manchester in 2015. Educational materials and events to guide dental practitioners on reducing the use of antibiotics will follow.
According to the BDA, dentistry currently accounts for 9 per cent of antimicrobial prescriptions in Britain.
Correction: An earlier version of this article wrongly stated that the summit will take place in Manchester.
