Pete P. is а 45-yeаr-оld mаn whо is new tо the dental practice. He reports pain from his periodontal debridement last week and wants a prescription for pain medication. He needed nitrous oxide and a pre-appointment anxiolytic before allowing the dental hygienist to proceed with treatment. He states on his medical history that he takes a baby aspirin to prevent heart disease, a multivitamin, and Xanax for anxiety. He also notes on his health history that he is a recovering alcoholic. The dentist writes a prescription for 800 mg of ibuprofen, but Pete tells his physician that ibuprofen does not work for him and that only OxyContin works for his pain. What is the physician’s primary concern regarding this patient?
