title: What should dentists prescribe?
abstract: In recent months in Australia the, country's Association has been negotiating with the Federal Government over the rights of dentists to prescribe. The question is not the legal right to order a drug for a patient, but the entitlement of patients to a Government health scheme benefit for the dentist's prescription. The debate has, however, opened up broader questions. What is a reasonable extent of entitlement? What should a dentist be allowed to prescribe?
