Cover Story: Facilitating shared decision making has been shown to reduce antibiotic prescribing (antibiotic stewardship) in primary medical care, but this has not been demonstrated in dentistry. Due to differences between medicine and dentistry, existing tools cannot be translated directly to the dental context. Our aim was to co-develop a shared decision-making antibiotic stewardship tool for dentistry by working with stakeholders (dentists, patients, and others) to apply behavioural science to the existing evidence base, using the Behaviour Change Wheel’s tools. Fine-tuning of the “Step-by-step guide to fixing your toothache” paper-based worksheet was undertaken through a think aloud study and application for a Crystal Mark. Following this, we aim to carry out further testing to evaluate its efficacy at point-of-care. View this paper
