Advanced sedation dentistry has changed the dynamics of caring for medically complex patients, allowing large numbers of those suffering from chronic medical and psychological problems to be seen and safely treated in-office by a qualified general dentist.

DOCS faculty members Anthony S. Feck, DMD, and Leslie Shu-Tung Fang, MD, PhD, have developed the Master Series: Advanced Sedation training course for general dentists in the pharmacology, physiology, psychology, and clinical techniques necessary to safely treat them.
