Who should attend this course:
This course is designed for dental practitioners, hygienists and team members interested in providing safe and effective anxiolysis and sedation for their patients. For those practitioners already familiar with these modalities, this course represents the most comprehensive and up-to-date approaches to ensuring successful outcomes for you, your Team, and your patients. Our internationally-renowned Faculty have designed this curriculum around the newly approved ADA guidelines, and will review the recent state-wide adaptations based on these recommendations. Whether you are interested in getting started, or have been practicing with these tools for years, this is the only University-sponsored continuing dental education program taught by top professionals practicing in this field.
What you will learn at this course:
This course offers instruction in all aspects of inhalational analgesia and oral conscious sedation, including effective methods in dealing with anxiety control in general practice. Our Faculty specializes in adult learning by utilizing a multimedia approach which enhances knowledge and retention. Participants will learn various techniques and protocols designed to achieve certification in nitrous oxide/oxygen sedation as well as competency in providing oral anxiolysis. A patient-centered approach to care is emphasized with lectures on appropriate medication selection, monitoring and practical emergency management. Case studies will augment the delivery of key points and a problem-based learning approach is encouraged so that each participant’s questions are addressed.
