The average general dental practice that doesn’t offer advanced sedation services is often underprepared to respond to an unexpected medical emergency. Every member of the dental team must be fully versed in all procedures and the use of emergency equipment.
While having basic knowledge is important, motivating the team to be confidently prepared is the key. This course is designed to empower the general practice members to incorporate a medical emergency action plan into their standard of care. Prevention and treatment of emergencies will be covered, with emphasis on team synergy. This interactive program offers an upbeat and often humorous approach to a serious topic. It offers many pearls and practical hints that will be put to use the very next day.
