Answer:

The dentist is able to prescribe medications.

Step-by-step explanation:

A dentist is legally allowed to prescribe and/or dispense drugs for the purpose of diagnosing, treating or preventing conditions of the oral-facial complex for patients that they are treating. It's not appropriate for dentist's to self prescribe medications to themselves or family without specification.
