The commonly asked questions posed to the UKDMAS concerning the prescribing and administering of dental emergency drugs in dental practice are discussed, with answers supplemented by relevant information from clinicians. These include the drugs that need to be stocked in the emergency drugs kit in dental practice, their formats and storage, and the restrictions on which members of the dental team can administer the drugs. © 2021.
