No national study has identified which procedures account for the most U.S. dental opioid prescriptions or assessed recent opioid prescribing patterns for these procedures, impeding optimal targeting of dental opioid stewardship initiatives. We analyzed claims data from the 2013–2018 IBM MarketScan Dental, Commercial, and Medicaid Multi-State Databases. Among patients aged 13–64 years undergoing one of 120 dental procedures, we identified opioid prescriptions dispensed on the date of procedures to 3 days afterwards (“initial prescriptions”). For the procedures accounting for the 5 highest proportions of initial prescriptions, we fitted linear regression models assessing trends in the probability of ≥1 initial prescription and mean total morphine milligram equivalents (MME) prescribed, a standardized measure of opioid amount. Regressions adjusted for demographic characteristics and co-morbidities. The 9,482,976 procedures in the sample were associated with 2,721,688 initial prescriptions, of which 5 procedures accounted for 95.2%: tooth extraction (65.2%), problem-focused limited oral evaluation (17.2%), endodontic therapy (8.4%), alveoloplasty (2.9%), and surgical implant services (1.5%). Among the 5 procedures, the median adjusted annual change was −1.3 percentage points for probability of ≥1 initial prescription and −4.5 MME for mean total MME (roughly 1 pill containing 5 mg hydrocodone). In 2018, 45.3% of tooth extractions resulted in ≥1 initial prescription. Five procedures account for 95% of dental opioid prescriptions; tooth extraction accounts for two-thirds. Opioid prescribing for tooth extractions is declining but remains common even though non-opioids are effective analgesics. Eliminating routine prescribing for tooth extraction could substantially reduce dental opioid exposure.
