Speaker: Dr. Brett King

Friday, April 5 (3 clinical hours)
"Recognizing, Diagnosing, and Managing Common Medical Emergencies
in the Dental Setting and Pitfalls of Sedation Dentistry"

COURSE DESCRIPTION: Besides prevention, proficient early recognition and diagnosis of common medical emergencies in the dental setting is of utmost importance. Following recognition and diagnosis, appropriate early-stage intervention is necessary to substantially improve patient outcomes. We will review common medical urgencies and emergencies that may present in the dental setting, their underlying etiologies and appropriate parameters of care.

Providing safe and effective sedation is an increasingly common core component of many dental practices in many dental specialties. It is imperative that we are equipped and prepared to handle a variety of situations during the course of proving this sedation and that we practice within the highest standards of care. We will discuss the current parameters of care for office-based sedation and review the challenges facing our specialty in regards to providing anesthesia services to our patients.

COURSE OBJECTIVES - At the end of this course, participants should be able to:

Provide safe and effective in-office sedation to your patients.
Learn to diagnosis medical emergencies early for preventative care.
Know how to be equipped and prepared to handle a variety of emergent situations.
