Our Oral Sedation CE course for Assistants produces team members that can help their dentist in three major categories:

TREATMENT PLANNING

The assistants will learn to:

  • Take pre screening vital signs
  • Pre screen medical problems
  • Pre screen difficult airways
  • Educate patients on the risks of a full stomach during sedation

DENTAL OPERATORY SEDATION

The assistants will learn to:

  • Hook up a vital signs monitor
    • Blood Pressure
    • Heart Rate
    • Respiratory Rate
    • Rythym Stripe
    • Pulse Oximetry
    • Capnography
  • Actively interpret a vital signs monitor
  • Use and fill out a sedation flow sheet
  • Audit sedation consent forms
  • Recognize, Respond, Perform, and Communicate in any sedation emergency

PATIENT DISCHARGE

The assistants will learn to:

  • Evaluate when the patient can have the monitors removed
  • Evaluate when the patient can be safely discharged
  • Use and fill out sedation discharge instructions

Assistants also develop a solid understanding in sedation pharmacology, physiology.  Trained assistants become proficient in aiding the dentist during emergencies in a dental office.  The ADMA develops a team member that the dentist can rely upon as not only an emergency assistant but an emergency resource.  Case simulation, individual instructor interaction, and hands on exposure developes an assistant that can both lead and be a team member.  *Select “Select Options” from any of the above courses for an in depth content and training description.
