DOCS Education offers N₂O sedation training so you can administer safe and comfortable dental care to adult patients. By using single-dose oral sedation in conjunction with nitrous oxide, you can offer greater benefits to anxious patients than using either one separately. In this comprehensive 2-day light sedation course, you’ll learn how to combine these two time-tested methods to better serve your patients.

Even the best seminar presentation can't replicate the value of training in an actual clinical setting. That's why we offer a premium experience for dentists wishing to put their knowledge into practice. The Personal Learning Experience (PLE) places dentists and staff members within a pediatric dental clinic. This real-world setting provides the best possible look at how sedation can be provided safely and efficiently to a wide number of patients every single day. Participants gain vital access to successful clinical techniques and established practice management approaches.
