The use of dentally prescribed analgesics increased 15%, with use of nonsteroidal anti\u2010inflammatory drugs increasing by 41% and opioid analgesics by 12%. Prescribing of the oxycodone 5\u2010mg tablet increased 344% between 2005 and 2012, and dental prescription of the benzodiazepines diazepam and temazepam increased by 51% and 229%, respectively, over the observation period.
