Dentist routinely ask patients about medication usage before dental treatment. The purpose of this study was to determine if active duty personnel relate accurate information about medications they have been prescribed in the 6 months before an annual dental examination. This study also examined whether patients knew the dosage of the medication they were prescribed. The information in this study was obtained from 100 active duty soldiers at their dental examinations. The data were verified through the Composite Health Care System computer information system. In this study, 35% of patients had been prescribed at least one medication. Fifty-one percent of the patients prescribed medication in this study accurately reported their prescription history in the 6 months before their dental examinations. Forty-five percent of the patients that reported being prescribed medication actually knew the correct dosage of the medication they were prescribed.
