Description
Mohammed Nizami and co-authors review how antibiotic resistance is growing inside dentistry. Their 2025 review notes that dentists prescribe antibiotics often, and sometimes when they are not needed. That overuse helps mouth germs learn to resist the drugs meant to kill them.
Key mouth bacteria, the authors report, are getting harder to treat with standard drugs. Causes include loose rule-following, patient pressure, and weak training in careful prescribing. The review backs tighter stewardship programs, ongoing training for dentists, and new options such as germ-killing viruses and host-calming drugs. It closes by urging dentists, researchers, and policy makers to act together so these drugs keep working.
