Description
It is imperative that dentists develop a strong team to practice sedation dentistry safely and effectively. Having dental assistants attend this course provides the foundation to do just that. Dental Assistants and Hygienists will return to work having an IMPROVED understanding of:
- How anatomy, physiology and pharmacology impact patients when under sedation
- Airway management algorithms and the techniques and equipment required to apply them
- How to monitor sedated patients and communicate their status to the sedating dentist
This is all brought together when the assistants work as a team through hands-on clinical simulations in the course. The two day course satisfies any state certification requirements for dental assistants.
