It's clear that medicine, like dentistry, is changing at breakneck speed. And sedation dentists are particularly prone to treating the most complicated medical patients—after all, these are often the patients that need it the most. In an era of ever-evolving science, delivering the best care to your patient requires effort. Attending our Sedation Solutions course provides understanding of the rapidly changing medical side of dentistry. The importance cannot be overstated—you’ll be better serving your patients. For instance, do you know what Pradaxa™ is used for? Are you aware of the overwhelming number of patients that will be prescribed the drug in the next 12 months? The Sedation Solutions course addresses timely topics such as:
- What are the new guidelines for the use of analgesics, narcotics in dentistry?
- How do you sedate a patient who has had a recent atherectomy?
- How has medical management of angina changed and how does it affect dentistry?
- What should you do when a patient takes both aspirin and Plavixâ„¢?
- How do you sedate a dialysis patient?
- How do you sedate a patient with sleep apnea (and should you)?
Sedation Solutions is the course you absolutely must take. The curriculum is entirely interactive and case-based: you are provided hypothetical cases and personally decide how you would sedate the patients. It provides a non-threatening way to learn from the experiences of your colleagues, and occasionally from me. Sedation Solutions offers you the most painless way of getting up-to-date in this thorough 2-day course. In this ever-changing scientific field, providing your patients with the highest quality care takes ongoing effort—and your patients are worth it. Leslie S.T.
