I think you're looking at it from the wrong end.
Usually a dentist prescribes painkillers without finding out if you'll need them. Most people go "Oh, hey, vicodin", and take it because they have the prescription.
This dentist was, by the sounds of it, actually taking an opt-in route - you have to say "Yes, I am in pain" to receive painkillers. Seems more responsible to me.

And I thought being in pain was not enough to be prescribed opiods anyway? Isn't the pain supposed to be chronic or the patient incurable? Episodic pain should not be treated at all, imho.
