Medical Emergencies in the Dental Office:
Why CPR Is Not Enough
Develop strategies to prevent, identify and respond to a wide range of medical crises. Emphasis will be placed on preparing the dental team to minimize the impact of such an event. Although any dental professional will benefit from attending individually, the greatest gain is achieved when the entire dental team attends together. By doing so, dental teams develop a coordinated response.
Your Patient, Your Duty: Liability Issues and Medical Emergencies
Few dentists have weathered a malpractice claim. If the dentist is accused of rendering improper care during a medical emergency, suddenly everything is now on the line.
Understanding Dental Fear:
Successfully Treating the Apprehensive Patient
Explore the underlying types of dental fear and how it is evident through a patient's personality. Skills to identify and alternatives to treat patient fears will be discussed. Dental teams are encouraged to attend as a group. This course is ideal for both practices offering complex, high-end treatment or routine care.
Nitrous Oxide & Oral Sedation for the Dental Patient
This course will help dentists address the needs of their apprehensive patients. Many dental boards allow hygienists and dental assistants to monitor/administer nitrous oxide. Learn strategies for maximizing the clinical team’s role. Additionally, discover techniques for augmenting nitrous oxide with a modest dose of oral sedation, providing a safe alternative for conscious sedation.
Mastering Vital Signs & Patient Monitoring During Conscious Sedation
Dental patients often present with complex medical conditions and histories. Coupled with conscious sedation and increasingly sophisticated and invasive dental procedures, these patients must be monitored during dental treatment. Gain a greater understanding and skill in interpreting pulse oximetry and capnography on minimally or moderately sedated patients.
